Description
Rethinking Political Identity explores the evolving relationship between European citizens and political parties, questioning conventional frameworks for understanding electoral behavior and political affiliation. Colin Crouch provides critical analysis of how traditional party loyalties have fractured and transformed across European democracies.
The book addresses fundamental shifts in how citizens construct their political identities, examining the decline of class-based politics and the emergence of new cleavages in the political landscape. Crouch investigates the implications of these changes for democratic representation and party system stability, offering insights into contemporary political fragmentation and polarization.
Essential reading for scholars and students of European politics, political sociology, and democratic theory, this work provides theoretical and empirical perspectives on the challenges facing established parties and the rise of new political movements across the continent.
