Focusing on four cases – the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), the UK Independence Party (UKIP), the Alternative for Germany (AfD), and Italy's Five Star Movement (M5S) – \u003ci\u003eGetting Elected in the Age of Protest\u003c\/i\u003e explores their strategic maneuvers and impact on European politics in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003eCombining the supply and demand sides of politics and using the spatial theory of electoral competition, Karen Umansky and Itai Sened explore how these parties operate in multidimensional political spaces. By leveraging issues, such as immigration and the EU, they challenge traditional party systems and attract disillusioned voters. Employing the “legitimate” enemy strategy, these populist parties frame politics as a battle against internal and external threats, forcing party realignment and reshaping European political spaces.\u003cbr\u003eUsing the uncovered set concept to track changes in political competition, the authors reveal how populist parties exploit electoral volatility and policy preferences to destabilize liberal democracies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren Umansky\u003c\/b\u003e is researcher and lecturer at the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Potsdam. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eItai Sened\u003c\/b\u003e is professor and Dean Emeritus of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Tel Aviv University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 May 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666932454\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e176\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52223162417292,"sku":"9781666932454","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666932454","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
