New Books in Political Science Maria Snegovaya, "When Left Moves Right: The Decline of the Left and the Rise of the Populist Right in Postcommunist Europe" (Oxford UP, 2024)
Apr 13, 2024
Maria Snegovaya discusses the decline of the left and the rise of the populist right in postcommunist Europe, attributing it to pro-market neoliberal reforms disenfranchising working-class voters. The podcast explores historical contexts, challenges faced by mainstream parties, economic uncertainties influencing voter choices, and the impact of transitioning industries. It also delves into the rise of populist right parties driven by economic dislocation, social tensions, and exploitation of cultural grievances in postcommunist European countries.
