Abstract
¿Puede un estudio de partidos populistas en el sur de Europa arrojar luz sobre la relación entre el populismo y el euroescepticismo? Este trabajo comparativo examina los diferentes grados y tipos de euroescepticismo de los partidos populistas en la región sur, ya que esperamos que la naturaleza más variada de los partidos populistas en esta región amplíe el conocimiento sobre las relaciones entre el populismo y el euroescepticismo. En general, nuestro artículo muestra que los partidos populistas de izquierda y derecha comparten lo que inicialmente puede parecer un perfil euroescéptico homogéneo. Sin embargo, un examen más exhaustivo confirma que los partidos populistas de izquierda tienen opiniones más positivas sobre el proceso de integración en los indicadores relacionados con el lado político de la UE (poderes del Parlamento Europeo y proceso de ampliación).
Highlights
Contemporary research suggests that populism is one of the driving forces behind a profound process of realignment taking place in European party systems since the 2008 Great Recession (Kriesi 2014; Pirro, Taggart and Van Kessel 2018)
We argue in this paper that, despite recent efforts (Rooduijn 2018; Della Porta, Kouki and Fernandez 2017; Carlotti 2017; Harmsen 2010), the relationship between populism and Euroscepticism has been largely considered from a “northern-European” perspective
We delve into different subtypes of negative attitudes towards the European Union (EU), investigating to what extent political ideology shapes populist parties’ discourses towards the EU
Summary
Contemporary research suggests that populism is one of the driving forces behind a profound process of realignment taking place in European party systems since the 2008 Great Recession (Kriesi 2014; Pirro, Taggart and Van Kessel 2018). In spite of the intents of depoliticization to inhibit political reactions against the EU, discussions over Europe and the European integration are increasingly expressed in national public debates (De Wilde and Zürn 2012: 138; Hooghe and Marks 2018: 123; Börzel and Risse 2018: 20); the salience of European issues is out of the control of mainstream parties (Grande and Hutter 2016: 40; Treib 2014). Political controversies regarding Europe in the last decade have generated debates on topics like “the question of bailing out of member States in need” (De Wilde and Zürn 2012: 138) or “the numbers of refugees that should be received” (Harteveld et al 2018: 1), permitting parties to mobilize European issues using different framings
