DESCRIPTION:The rise of populism has been a matter of concern for academic
 s and media commentators alike\; yet the phenomenon remains poorly underst
 ood. What is populism\, and how should we address it? Arguably the hottest
  PhD topic in town\, this talk considers possible explanations behind the 
 success and failure of the populist right in Europe (and beyond). While ri
 ght-wing populist parties have been successful in rallying broad public su
 pport in some European countries (e.g. Switzerland\, the Netherlands and S
 weden)\, they have failed to do so in others (such as Ireland\, Spain and 
 Luxembourg). In an attempt to shed light on the variation in the electoral
  fortunes of the populist right\, this presentation discusses different fa
 ctors that may impede of facilitate the electoral success of these parties
 \, including the role of media\, the importance of charismatic leaders and
  the setup of electoral systems.
