About this book
This project offers an in-depth look at the three 2017 elections held in Western Europe: France, Germany, and the UK. With events like Brexit and a general rise in right-wing populism across highly industrialized nations, understanding the underlying causes of increasingly extreme electoral behavior is both valuable and prescient. A highly theoretically-focused and current project, it provides a consistent methodological and analytic approach that uses election study data and primary sources to offer a complete and cogent picture of this complex phenomenon as can only found by examining the attitudes and behaviors of the most powerful of democratic participants: the voters.
Reviews
“This volume is a valuable contribution to the lively debate on the determinants of rightwing voting in Europe. … I would especially recommend the volume to readers who are relatively new to the research field and in general to scholars to use as a starting point for further research into the interplay of anti-immigrant sentiment, populist attitudes, and right-wing voting.” (Simon Ellerbrock, Democratization, August 28, 2019)
