Ann-Cathrine Jungar - Böcker

Many of today's populist radical right (PRR) leaders in Europe came through their party's youth wings. Yet, we know little about these organizations and how they support their parties. This book, which is not only the first to examine PRR youth wings, but is the first in English to look at youth wings of any ideological type, offers an in-depth investigation of their structures (organizational features, relationships with the senior party, and international networks) and agents (leaders and grassroots members). Covering ten PRR youth wings from across Europe and based on extensive interviews with over 50 PRR youth wing officials, original survey data, and document analysis, it finds that PRR youth wings are not merely peripheral future-oriented entities, but are central components of their parties in the here and now, acting as motors of mobilization, socialization, internationalization, professionalization, and normalization. The book argues that PRR youth wings function as Janus-faced institutions, supporting the populist radical right today and helping build the populist radical right of tomorrow.

This edited volume examines populist radical right parties in the Nordic region.Somewhat surprisingly given the image of a consensual, egalitarian, and progressive region of Europe, the Nordic countries have been fertile ground for the radical right. Not only have radical right parties persisted for many decades, but they are currently much stronger in this region than in most other European countries today. In this book, the contributors analyse the electoral, ideological, and organisational aspects of the radical right in the Nordic region: The Progress Party in Norway (Fremskrittspartiet, FrP), the Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna, SD), Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkeparti, DF), and the Finns party (Perussuomalaiset, PS). It also explores how mainstream parties and the media have reacted to the rise of the radical right, whether the radical right is integrated into mainstream politics, the extent to which they challenge the dominant ideological paradigm of Nordic politics and whether they mobilise and organise differently to other parties. Understanding the Nordic radical right is crucial to comprehending the transformation of Nordic politics but also changes in European politics more generally.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Scandinavian politics, populism, the radical right, and comparative party politics.

Enligt en myt förstår finländare sig inte på kommunikation. Här visar tjugofyra ledamöter i Finska Akademien att de har bred och specifik sakkunskap i ämnet. De beskriver världens förändring och dess konsekvenser för mediebranschen, de berättar om vitsen med att ha kul och ger handfasta anvisningar om hur man genom kommunikation gör bättre affärer och får ett rikare liv.

Efter valet 2010 har vågmästarpolitik och tungan på vågen åter blivit heta begrepp i svensk politik. I Riksbankens Jubileumsfonds nya årsbok diskuterar statsvetare, historiker, idéhistoriker, medieforskare och politiska journa­lister politisk praktik på både kommunal och nationell nivå. Sverigedemokraterna och Miljöpartiet lyfts fram som aktuella exempel på olika sätt att bedriva våg­mästar­politik. Vågmästeriets historiska rötter presenteras, från den trolöse 1700-talspolitikern Pechlin via den frisinnade statsministern C.G. Ekman på 1920-talet. Utblickar görs mot vågmästar­situationer med mer eller mindre populistiska partier i andra länder. Slutligen presenteras en färsk opinionsundersökning om vågmästeri och maktfördelning.
