A Generational Approach to the Crisis Parties: Common Origins and Common Features by Jorge Bronet, Rosa Borge

“…We focus on three dimensions usually highlighted by case studies: strong digitalization (Gerbaudo 2018, 2019), thin structure (Biancalana 2016; Raniolo, Tarditi 2020; Tormey 2015) and more members (van Haute, Ribeiro 2022). In order to do so, we verify it empirically by operationalizing the Political Party Database PPDB round 2 with a sample of 98 parties from 13 Western European countries, comprising 29 new parties (that we generationally call crisis parties) and 69 older parties. …”
