| Popis: | The central finding of this book is that many European democracies have proven resilient to anti-pluralist populism. They do so, however, in multiple, different ways. The concluding chapter reflects upon the country studies to identify the various paths that populist parties have followed as well as the institutional and behavioural mechanisms that may help to reduce their anti-pluralist inclinations. While underlining that all populist parties need to be evaluated in their national context, we argue that democratic systems can accommodate them through strategies that carefully navigate between the extremes of uncritically embracing and their outright ostracization. Furthermore, we reflect on the implications of our findings at the level of the European Union as a whole. While the challenges posed by populist parties need to be tackled first and foremost in each national context, European democracies can be mutually supportive, and the EU has a role to play in monitoring and acting upon any indications of anti-pluralism. Finally, we reflect upon how the different methods used in this volume complement each other, and on the role that academics have in contributing to the literature and the public debate on populism in a way that itself fosters pluralism. |
