Populists in Power

By Daniele Albertazzi and Duncan McDonnell

Book Overview

The main area of sustained populist growth and success over the last fifteen years in established democracies has been Western Europe, where populism has proved far more dynamic, resilient, flexible and successful than commentators had predicted. Populists in Power examines how and why populist parties may have been able to serve in the governments of Italy and Switzerland for most of the current decade without apparently softening their rhetoric, moderating their policies, or suffering significant vote losses.
