In 2016 the cohesion of the European Union was tested as never before. Popular dissatisfaction with the national and European neoliberal orders – culminating in Brexit – gave an impetus to populist radical right forces.

Is the polarity between left and right outdated? In this respect, this year’s volume contains detailed studies of the social composition and dynamics of populist-right voters and non-voters.
