Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the electoral success of populist parties in the 2013 and 2017 Czech parliamentary elections. It uses grievance theory for explaining the rise of populist parties in the Czech Republic. More specifically, we focus on determinants of electoral support for the ANO2011 (a centrist populist or technocratic populist party) and two radical right-wing populist parties, the Dawn and the SPD. We use grievance mobilization theory, especially a model which focuses on economic changes, and test the assumptions of this theory on aggregate regional data using the crisp-sets QCA method to find reasons behind the significant rise of populist parties in Czech politics.
