Right‐Wing Populism in Rural Europe

The special issue aims to understand the rise of right‐wing populism in the European countryside, as well as the forms of resistance and the alternatives being built against it. In the framing article, Mamonova and Franquesa explain rural support for populist movements in Europe as ultimately resulting from the fundamental crisis of globalised neoliberal capitalism.

Mamonova has also written the introduction to the special issue, as well as the first article: Populism, Neoliberalism and Agrarian Movements in Europe. Understanding Rural Support for Right‐Wing Politics and Looking for Progressive Solutions.
