- Zusatztext
- This book traces the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)&nbsp;from its inception in 2013 to its re-election to the Bundestag in 2021, emphasising the partys nature as a populist issue entrepreneur and covering the three major crises that have shaken European party politics the Eurozone crisis, the so-called refugee crisis and the COVID pandemic.&nbsp;Currently, books on the AfD are largely limited to historical accounts and surface-level analyses of the party. This volume is both empirically rigorous and conceptually nuanced: it seeks to understand the partys political trajectory and its appeal to its supporters by using advanced quantitative methodologies to analyse voter&nbsp;behaviour, as well as by interpreting the partys communication strategies through mixed empirical methods. It&nbsp;embeds this account within a well-grounded theoretical&nbsp;argument. The argument emphasises three important explanatory conditions a favourable political opportunity structure, issue entrepreneurship, and the partys stages of political development.<br>
