Religious Support for the Populist Radical Right in Hungary and Italy. Leadership in Western and Central-Eastern Europe

Meer over het boek

The paper examines the rise of populist radical right parties (PRRPs) in Europe, focusing on the influence of religion on political sympathies in Hungary and Italy. It highlights the connections between the 2016 U.S. presidential election and European politics, particularly the reactions of leaders like Viktor Orbán and Giorgia Meloni. By analyzing the differing constitutional roles of religion in these countries, the study employs a multivariate regression using the ESS10 dataset to explore the implications of religious identity on support for PRRPs today.
