Crisis, Austerity and Transnational Party Cooperation in Southern Europe
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-39150-7 (ISBN)
The most internationalist of all party families, the radical left has paradoxically always lagged behind in its cooperation at the EU level. The previous decade, however, the transnational character of the Eurozone crisis and its austerity-centred management provided a strong incentive to remedy that. By focusing on the relations between three prominent members of this party family at the time (SYRIZA, Podemos, Left Bloc), this book shows how and why the transnational cooperation on the radical left largely failed to deliver in a propitious context. With implications for the study of other party families, the book lays out the key factors that prevented the European radical left from coming together to provide an alternative to the neoliberal status quo in the EU.
lt;p>Vladimir Bortun is a critical political scientist whose research interests revolve around political elites, radical left parties, and transnational politics. He is a postdoctoral fellow on the Changing Elites project, hosted by the Department of Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford, UK, which looks into the impact of social background on the ideology and decision-making of British elites. His work is rooted in a broad historical materialist approach and has been published so far in the Journal of Common Market Studies, Capital & Class, and Qualitative Research. Currently, he is also developing a research agenda on the class backgrounds and interests of right-wing populist party elites in several European countries.
