Economic institutions and political revolt in Europe: How can we explain that, in response to prolonged periods of economic stagnation, European peoples react differently to the same austerity policies? This lunch lecture by Jonathan Hopkin maps out the different kinds of anti-system politics that have emerged in different advanced capitalist states, and assesses potential explanations for these differences.
