Накратко на български

Радикалният десен популизъм се анализира чрез примери с партиите Lega в Италия и Rassemblement National във Франция. Това помага да се разберат вътрешният живот на тези организации и социалните конфликти между техните привърженици и прогресивните движения.

Enquiring Radical Right Across Nations and Territories

Populist radical right (PRR) is probably the most studied political family in the history of political science and sociology. A vast body of literature provides important insights on the electoral and macro dynamics of their re-emergence in Europe. However, other relevant dimensions remain little explored. The first is activism. In a time of general decline of party engagement, PRR parties are still capable to attract large numbers of committed militants: a prerogative that remains largely ignored by research. Second, insofar scholars have mainly considered PRR parties as actors of (supra)national systems. Yet, they are also complex, multi-level organizations with a rooted institutional and social presence across territories. Third, the growth of PRR is accompanied by lacerating societal conflicts between incompatible visions of collective life: on the one side, the nativist/conservative paradigm of PRR’s; on the other, inclusionary/progressive stances. The project dealt with these ground-breaking issues, proposing an in-depth and comparative study of two leading actors of European PRR: Lega and Rassemblement National (RN). The research was organized in two qualitative case studies, aimed at contributing to the innovation of the debate in three ways. First of all, ERRANT observed the dynamics of territorial implantation of PRR in a paradigmatic space: two middle-sized, peripheral towns where Lega and RN have already accessed the mainstream (high electoral scores, local government, cultural legitimation). Secondly, the research shed light on the internal life of the parties, giving voice to the activist themselves. A third, highly innovative contribution was the analysis of the polarization between the parties’ social basis and civil progressive counter-movements, with a specific attention for ethnic and gender-based conflicts. Finally, the overall and public engagement’s ambition of the project was to contribute in building scientific bridges on societal frontiers of and conflicts.

Цел на проекта

Urgent scientific and public questions are arising from the current growth of the populist radical right (PRR) across Europe. First, not much is known about activism and internal functioning of these political organisations, because they have been studied mainly from macro and structural perspectives. A second overlooked element is their strong territorial presence, and their ability to mobilize localism and community attachments, turning them into political consensus. Third, the political growth of PRR is accompanied by unprecedented levels of societal polarization, concerning in particular immigration and gender. ERRANT deals on these three ground-breaking issues, by focusing on two major Western European PRR actors: Lega and Rassemblement National. The research, organized in two qualitative comparative case studies, focuses on two small-medium towns actually dominated by the parties (high electoral scores; institutional power; cultural legitimation). Research goals are i) to shed light on the internal life of the party branches; ii) to reconstruct the dynamics of their local implantation; iii) to analyse the production of socio-political conflicts on immigration and gender. Data collection techniques will be quantitative analysis of electoral and organizational data; analysis of documentary sources; participant observation; in-depth interviews. Through its experimental, yet rigorous research design, ERRANT will singificantly contribute to the development of new, empirically grounded interpretative categories of PRR activism. Basing on an experimental mix of immersion and comparison, this project will also inaugurate a new methodological template for the qualitative research on parties. Finally, the research will generate societal impact, by enhancing awareness and understanding of the growing influence of populist radical right parties across Europe.
