Zum Thema:
The rise and fall of populist parties across Europe has attracted much
attention. But is this a new phenomenon? In this talk, Catherine E. De
Vries suggests not. Populist parties can be seen as a type of challenger
parties, that is, political entrepreneurs without government experience
seeking to disrupt the dominance of mainstream parties. She discusses
how ongoing changes in European party systems compare with previous
waves of challenger parties, including social democratic and green
parties. She then presents the core strategies used by successful
challengers, namely issue entrepreneurship and anti-establishment
rhetoric, as they mobilize issues that give them an electoral advantage
and attack the competence of the established political parties. Finally,
she considers what the rise of challenger parties may mean for
democracy in Europe.
Zur Person: Catherine E. De
Vries is Professor of Politics in the Department of Social and Political
Science and the Dondena Research Centre at Bocconi University in Milan.
She has recently published a new book "Political Entrepreneurs: The
Rise of Challenger Parties in Europe", co-authored with Sara B. Hobolt,
with Princeton University Press.
