Beskrivning

Although the most pernicious consequences of the crisis have apparently abated, the long-term political repercussions remain unclear. Whereas most attention has focused on the right-wing populist parties, the rejuvenation of the left is an unwritten story of post-crisis politics. This volume addresses this story, with three principal aims:to examine the radical left intellectual response to the crisis, i.e. how actors conceptualise the causes of crisis and its consequences; to examine the radical left electoral response to the crisis, i.e. how the crisis has aided or weakened the electoral success of radical left parties and movements; to examine organisational responses, i.e. whether the crisis has resulted in new party structures, methods of organising, and internal party tendencies. The result is a comprehensive compendium, drawing on cutting-edge research from leading European experts to present the first comparative analysis of how the far left of the political spectrum has responded to the crisis. It furthers our understanding both of the dynamics of European party systems and the wider consequences of the Great Recession.

Recensioner i media

March and Keith's Europe's Radical Left; From Marginality to the Mainstream? provides a comprehensive, eloquent and incredibly well rounded depiction of the party family's response to the severe economic and political crisis that shook the continent in recent years. The volume highlights lesser known but pertinent aspects of radical left politics such as current programmatic dilemmas the party family faces with respect to immigration and Europe and explores its new links to social movements. Dealing with questions such as why the radical left has not benefited electorally from the crisis across the continent to the extent that this might have been expected, on which issues it is plagued by internal divisions and what its future prospects are in Europe's changing party systems renders this volume a must read for scholars of party politics and all those interested in contemporary European politics.
