Restrained Radicals: Populist Radical Right Parties in Local Government
Join us for the next event of the Quantitative Social Sciences Seminars (QSSS), where we delve into the fascinating intersection of politics, ideology, and local governance. Our featured presenter for March is Dr. Fred Paxton from the University of Parma, who will be discussing his book "Restrained Radicals: Populist Radical Right Parties in Local Government” which explores the uncharted territory of populist radical right parties in local governance across Austria, France, Italy, and Switzerland. Dr. Paxton's comparative analysis uncovers the ideological impact and constraints faced by these parties, offering fresh insights into Western European politics. QSSS provides a distinguished platform for scholars to convene, exchange insights, and explore the latest advancements in research, with the aim of cultivating a dynamic academic community in Bologna. We extend a warm invitation to join us for an engaging scholarly dialogue!
