- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge about new types of political parties that have emerged in Europe since 1970s and which do not perfectly fit the traditional Lipset and Rokkans scheme of cleavages and parties that result from them. The new parties, some of which can be treated as "niche parties" are discussed from the perspective of their new policies, organization, membership, and position in respective party systems. The rise of new types of parties is analyzed in the context of changing modern societies, important processes that directly affect party politics, shifting values and changing policy priorities in a globalized world. The course is focused on relevant and electorally successful parties such as green parties, radical-right wing parties, Eurosceptical parties, populist parties to name the most important ones. The course also discusses other parties that are relevant mainly in terms of new types of organization (cyber parties) or policies (pirate parties, feminist parties, single-issue parties and like)
