This volume investigates the shifting relationship between social class and the electoral success of radical right-wing populist parties in contemporary Europe. Edited by Jens Rydgren, a prominent scholar in the field of political sociology, the text compiles research from various experts to analyze how working-class voters have transitioned from traditional left-wing support to radical right-wing alternatives. The contributors utilize comparative data and electoral analysis to determine whether this shift is driven by economic grievances, cultural anxieties, or generational changes within the European electorate.
