Challenger parties are on the rise in Europe. Like disruptive entrepreneurs, these parties offer new policies and defy the dominance of established party brands.
In the face of these challenges and a more volatile electorate, mainstream parties are losing their grip on power. In this seminar, Catherine De Vries and Sara Hobolt explore why some challenger parties are so successful and what mainstream parties can do to confront these political entrepreneurs.
- Speakers: Catherine E. De Vries (Bocconi) and Sara B. Hobolt (LSE)
- Co-Convenors and Chairs: Tim Haughton (Birmingham) and Fernando Casal Bertoa (Nottingham)
Open to all students and staff!
