E-mail: [email protected] This article argues that the entrance of the Lijst Pim Fortuyn in the Dutch Parliament after the May 2002 elections shows the relevance of the Schattschneider –Mair thesis of party system change. Fortuyn introduced a new line of conflict that restructured party competition in the Netherlands. The introduction of this new line of conflict has transformed the Dutch party system abruptly. The Dutch case differs from many other west European countries in which the rise of a successful radical right-wing populist party has changed the party system gradually. Comparative European Politics (2007) 5, 282–302. doi:10.1057/palgrave.cep.6110097 Keywords: multi dimensional political space; lines of conflict; party system change Introduction The 2002 Dutch parliamentary elections were one of the most volatile in the history of Western Europe (Mair, 2002). From 1998 to 2002, the governing Purple coalition commanded almost a two-third majority in the Dutch Lower House, but after the 2002 elections it was left with only one-third of the seats.

  • The Rearguard of Freedom: the John Birch Society and the Development
    The Rearguard of Freedom: The John Birch Society and the Development of Modern Conservatism in the United States, 1958-1968 by Bart Verhoeven, MA (English, American Studies), BA (English and Italian Languages) Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Arts July 2015 Abstract This thesis aims to investigate the role of the anti-communist John Birch Society within the greater American conservative field. More specifically, it focuses on the period from the Society's inception in 1958 to the beginning of its relative decline in significance, which can be situated after the first election of Richard M. Nixon as president in 1968. The main focus of the thesis lies on challenging more traditional classifications of the JBS as an extremist outcast divorced from the American political mainstream, and argues that through their innovative organizational methods, national presence, and capacity to link up a variety of domestic and international affairs to an overarching conspiratorial narrative, the Birchers were able to tap into a new and powerful force of largely white suburban conservatives and contribute significantly to the growth and development of the post-war New Right. For this purpose, the research interrogates the established scholarship and draws upon key primary source material, including official publications, internal communications and the private correspondence of founder and chairman Robert Welch as well as other prominent members. Acknowledgments The process of writing a PhD dissertation seems none too dissimilar from a loving marriage. It is a continuous and emotionally taxing struggle that leaves the individual's ego in constant peril, subjugates mind and soul to an incessant interplay between intense passion and grinding routine, and in most cases should not drag on for over four years.

  • Ex-Communist Party Choices and the Electoral Success of the Radical
    Ex-Communist Party Choices and the Electoral Success of the Radical Right in Central and Eastern Europe Maria Snegovaya Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Maria Snegovaya All rights reserved ABSTRACT Ex-Communist Party Choices and the Electoral Success of the Radical Right in Central and Eastern Europe Maria Snegovaya What explains the proletarization (the increasing embrace by the blue-collar constituencies) of the radical right vote in the countries of post-Communist Europe? I argue that the centrist shift of the ex-Communist left parties along the economic policy dimension drives the electoral success of radical right parties in the region. I show that the programmatic shift of the ex-Communist left parties (as instrumented by the implementation of austerity reforms) opened up their traditional blue-collar constituencies to the redistributive appeals of the radical right parties. I test my argument using several different approaches. First, I examine the relationship between the support for the radical right parties and the ex-Communist left parties’ policy positions using a quantitative cross-country analysis. Second, I provide an overview of the experiences of the four Visegrád Group countries and trace the blue-collar constituencies’ shift away from the ex-Communist left parties to the populist and radical right parties over time, as the left parties became more economically centrist. I then test my argument using constituency-level and individual-level experimental survey data within Hungary. Both methods help establish that the centrist shift of the ex-Communist left parties along the economic policy dimension boosted support for the radical right party.

  • A Populist Center-Authoritarian Challenge to West European Democracies: Revising Kitschelt's Account of the Radical Right's
    The Populist Centre-Authoritarian Challenge: A Revised Account of the Radical Right’s Success in Western Europe. Elisabeth Ivarsflaten, Nuffield College. Abstract. This article brings new evidence to the debate about the causes of populist right parties’ success in contemporary democracies in Western Europe. It does so by criticizing and revising the most influential account of it—The New Radical Right in Western Europe (Kitschelt and McGann 1995). In three cases where we according to the influential study should expect a right-authoritarian winning strategy—France, Belgium, and Denmark—this study shows that a populist centre-authoritarian strategy was more successful. A number of criticisms of Kitschelt and McGann’s explanation are thus supported on new empirical grounds. The revised account presented here draws attention to aspects of the populist right’s success that have not been sufficiently studied. The ‘underdog’ image of the populist parties matters more than previously thought, and the electoral returns to these parties’ chauvinist positions are higher than earlier believed.1 Comments Welcome [email protected] 1 Introduction. The success of the populist right in Western Europe during the last decade was remarkable. Le Pen reached the second round in the French Presidential Election in April 2002. In the Netherlands, List Pim Fortuyn entered the governing coalition after the party’s success in the parliamentary election in May 2002. The Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) won 52 of 183 parliamentary seats in 1999 and entered the governing coalition. The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) became the largest party in the national election of 1999 gaining 22.5 percent of the vote.

  • Ideological Factors in Party Alignments on the EU: a Comparison of Three Cases
    Ideological Factors in Party Alignments on the EU: A Comparison of Three Cases Christopher Flood and Simon Usherwood with thanks to Rafal Soborski for researching and translating Polish-language material Department of Political, International and Policy Studies, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey GU2 7XH, United Kingdom Paper presented at EUSA Tenth Biennial International Conference, Montreal, May 17 - May 19, 2007 VERY PRELIMINARY DRAFT: PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE WITHOUT AUTHORS’ PERMISSION Abstract This paper adopts a qualitative approach to describing and analysing party ideological and policy alignments towards EU integration. The focus is on three conservative parties which share broadly similar topographical locations on the centre-right in their respective countries. The cases of the Conservative party in the UK, the Union pour un Mouvement Populaire in France and Prawo i Sprawiedliwość in Poland are compared here, using a range of sources internal and external to the parties. While ideology and policy do not exist in a vacuum, but in constant interplay with a broad range of institutional and contextual factors, these other variables are largely bracketed out for present purposes in order to concentrate on the ideo- logical and policy dimensions in their own right. In this meso-level analysis the focus is on the relationship between core ideological values, ideologically coloured understandings of national and international environments, general posture towards EU integration, and positions on specific institutions, processes or policies. It is argued that the degree of vari- ation between the parties revealed even at this intermediate level of detail is a useful counte- rbalance to the inevitably reductive categorisations and generalisations drawn in macro-level comparative studies.

  • Modern Liberalism
    Modern Liberalism Frits Bolkestein bron Frits Bolkestein, Modern Liberalism. Elsevier, z.p. [Amsterdam] 1982 Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/bolk008mode01_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. V Uxori Frits Bolkestein, Modern Liberalism IX Foreword This book is about liberalism in its European, not its American, variety. It consists of conversations with nine prominent liberal politicians, each from a different country. All member-states of the European Community are represented except Ireland and Greece; Minoo Masani provides an Indian point of view. The conversations are not with academics, civil servants or journalists because only politicians know what it means to depend on popular favour and to have to compromise. Only one of those interviewed has at present executive power: Gaston Thorn, from Luxemburg, who is President of the European Commission. Jo Grimond and Wolfgang Mischnick are active parliamentarians in London and Bonn, respectively. Seven have been, at one time or another, members of government. Because of the British electoral system, Jo Grimond has never enjoyed the traditional rewards of a politician, while for Minoo Masani the tide of Mrs. Gandhi's Congress Party proved too strong. Apart from Gaston Thorn, the European Commission is here represented by Jean Rey, who was its President and is now Minister of State in Belgium; and by Jean François Deniau, who was in charge of the European Community's relations with developing countries before becoming Minister for Trade in the previous French government. Per Federspiel has been a member for many years of the Council of Europe for Denmark; he was President of its Assembly from 1960 to 1963.

  • Judicial Politics
    The Sciences Po Series in International Relations and Political Economy Series Editor, Christian Lequesne This series consists of works emanating from the foremost French researchers from Sciences Po, Paris. Sciences Po was founded in 1872 and is today one of the most prestigious universities for teaching and research in social sciences in France, recog- nized worldwide. This series focuses on the transformations of the international arena, in a world where the state, though its sovereignty is questioned, reinvents itself. The series explores the effects on international relations and the world economy of regionaliza- tion, globalization (not only of trade and finance but also of culture), and trans- national flows at large. This evolution in world affairs sustains a variety of networks from the ideological to the criminal or terrorist. Besides the geopolitical transforma- tions of the globalized planet, the new political economy of the world has a decided impact on its destiny as well, and this series hopes to uncover what that is.

  • (Doe) Parties: When Can Politicians Combine Clientelistic and Programmatic Appeals?
    “Do Everything” (DoE) Parties: When Can Politicians Combine Clientelistic and Programmatic Appeals? Matthew Singer University of Connecticut Herbert Kitschelt Duke University Paper Sketch prepared for presentation at the Workshop on Democratic Accountability Strategies. Duke University. Durham, May 18-19, 2011. This paper is based on a dataset collected under the auspices of the project “Political Accountability in Democratic Party Competition and Economic Governance,” implemented by a political science research group at Duke University (Principal Investigator: Herbert Kitschelt). Funding for the data collection was provided by the World Bank, Duke University, and the Chilean Science Foundation (research grant directed by Juan Pablo Luna and David Altman, Catholic University of Chile). Data analysis and conclusions of this paper are the sole responsibility of its author(s). 1 Introduction Models of how parties choose their linkage strategies usually posit that parties face a tradeoff between programmatic competition and clientelism (e.g. Dixit and Londregan 1996, Kitschelt 2000, Cox and McCubbins 2001, Keefer 2007, Lyne 2008). This theoretical modeling assumption has considerable plausibility, but direct evidence relies empirically on individual case studies or small-N comparisons. Yet a few studies have pointed out that parties may engage in product diversification and appeal to different constituencies with different linkage efforts (Magaloni et al 2009). The data for a large-scale global test of the assumption with observations across a broad spectrum of political parties have not been available until now. The Democratic Accountability project expert survey on political parties for the first time delivers the information to test the trade-off hypothesis on a global scale.
