The European Parliament Election of 2019 in East-Central Europe: Second-Order Euroscepticism

This book provides an analysis of the European Parliament elections 2019 with a focus on East-Central European countries. The authors offer conceptual insights into Euroscepticism and discuss traditionally familiar concepts in a new light, pairing East-Central European Euroscepticism with visions of illiberal democracy, on the one hand, and showing the increasing Europeanisation of Eurosceptic parties in the region, on the other. The book combines a fresh and innovative conceptual treatment with rich and accurate empirical evidence in order to highlight the dynamics of Euroscepticism in ‘new’ EU member states. Students and experts interested in EU politics, within academia and beyond, will find this volume particularly informative.Product details Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan; 1st ed. 2020 edition (June 3, 2020) Publication Date: June 3, 2020
