This book theoretically and empirically fills a void in populist studies. It explores systematically the relationships between territory, ethnicity, identity, and uneven development in European populist politics.- Carlos de la Torre - Professor of Sociology, University of Kentucky, USA. Editor of The Routledge Handbook of Global Populism This volume is both welcome and distinctive. It is welcome in that it contributes to our knowledge on fundamental questions structuring political debates: questions of populism, nationalism, territory, and identity. It is distinctive in that its empirical basis is rich and wide, covering twelve Western and Central European cases. - Michael Tatham - University of Bergen, Norway. Based on a coherent and comprehensive analysis of relevant European political parties, the book timely analyses the interactions between populist and ethno-territorial ideologies. It is a must-read for any student of contemporary political dynamics in Europe. - Regis Dandoy - Ghent University, Belgium
