2019 European Elections

This volume aims to provide consolidated analyses of the 2019 European elections and explanations about the future of the European party system, in a context in which the EU has to face many challenges, including the erosion of electoral support for mainstream parties and the increasing success of populist parties. The structure of the book is designed to combine the overall view on the role of elections in shaping the future European project with relevant case studies. The reader is given a perspective not only on the results of the European Parliament elections as such, but also on how these results are related to national trends which pre-exist and what kind of collateral effects on the quality of democracy they could have. Contributors include: Jan Biba, Sorin Bocancea, Dora Bokay, Radu Carp, Jozsef Duro, Tomas Dvorak, Alexandra Alina Iancu, Ruxandra Ivan, Petra Jankovska, Malgorzata Madej, Cristina Matiuta, Sergiu Miscoiu, Valentin Naumescu, Gianluca Piccolino, Leonardo Puleo, Alexandru Radu, Mihai Sebe, Sorina Soare, Tobias Spori, Jeremias Stadlmair, Martin Stefek, Piotr Sula, and Jaroslav Usiak.
