The Endgame Election? European Views on the United States Elections of 2024 examines whether the 2024 U.S. presidential election marks a decisive turning point in American democracy by analyzing the contest and its broader political context from the perspective of European scholars.Bringing together European scholars of American politics, this volume examines how Donald Trump's return to power unfolded against the backdrop of democratic backsliding, institutional fragility, and shifting electoral coalitions. It analyzes the internal transformations of the Democratic and Republican parties, the extraordinary replacement of Joe Biden by Kamala Harris, the role of media ecosystems and misinformation, the dynamics of voter suppression and the Electoral College, and the growing openness to executive aggrandizement within parts of the Republican Party. The book situates the 2024 election within broader debates about constitutional accountability, partisan polarization, and the erosion of democratic guardrails, asking whether the election narrowed the avenues of democratic self correction that once defined the American system. The European vantage point offers analytical distance and comparative insight into patterns of democratic erosion familiar from other contexts.This volume will be essential reading for scholars, students, and researchers of American politics, comparative politics, and democratic governance, as well as for policymakers and informed readers seeking to understand the implications of the 2024 election for the future of U.S. democracy.

Rechtspopulismus, Rechtsextremismus und sogar Rechtsterrorismus sind in Europa heute längst wieder politische Realität. Fast überall hat sich die äußere Rechte in unterschiedlichen Formen und unterschiedlicher Stärke institutionalisiert, in einigen Ländern bestimmt sie die Regierungspolitik mit. Was macht die rechten Phänomene aus, und wie lässt sich ihr Bedeutungszuwachs erklären? Wie stellen sie sich in den einzelnen Ländern dar? Welche Rolle spielen das Internet und die sozialen Medien bei der Verbreitung des rechtsradikalen Gedankenguts? Und welche Strategien gibt es, den Gefahren von rechtsaußen zu begegnen? Um zumindest vorläufige Antworten darauf zu geben, versammelt der Band Beiträge aus verschiedenen Disziplinen. Als Nachfolger des in derselben Schriftenreihe erschienenen Werkes "Rechtspopulismus und Rechtsextremismus" (Nomos Verlag, 2015) wurde er neu konzipiert, auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht und vor allem in den Länderrubriken stark erweitert.Mit Beiträgen vonPhilipp Adorf | Luca Argenta | Christoph Arndt | Eiríkur Bergmann | Alexander Berzel | Balázs Böcskei |Frank Decker | Aladin El-Mafaalani | Bernd Gäbler | Jens Gmeiner | Peter Graf Kielmansegg | Simona Guerra | Reinhard Heinisch | Anna-Sophie Heinze | Bernd Henningsen | Manfred Henningsen | Johannes Hillje | Christina Holtz-Bacha | Kjetil A.

Die Republikanische Partei dominierte zwischen den späten 1960er und 80er Jahren die Präsidentschaftswahlen in den Vereinigten Staaten. Vier der letzten sechs Wahlen sind jedoch verloren gegangen. Dieses Werk sieht die Gründe hinter dieser Krise im Versuch der Partei, während und nach dem Kampf der schwarzen Minderheit für ihre Bürgerrechte in den 1960er Jahren, die weißen (oft evangelikalen) Wähler des Südens auf ihre Seite zu bringen. In einem Land, in dem der weiße Bevölkerungsanteil stetig sinkt und junge Wähler säkularer denn je sind, finden sich die weißen Wähler des Südens immer öfter auf der Verliererseite der in Washington, D.C. ausgetragenen politischen Schlachten - und mit ihnen auch die Republikanische Partei.
