The greening of European radical left parties: Red and green politics
This article explores how European radical left parties (RLPs) respond to environmental issues and the extent to which green politics has been included in their programs and strategies. It shows that RLPs often have a greener policy profile than social democratic parties or right-wing parties. But compared with green parties, the members of the radical left party family are shown to be more moderate on environmental issues. The ‘Red-Green’ agenda…
Suspicious minds: An examination of trust-building in party mergers
Here, we examine the understudied merger of the Social Democratic Party and the Liberal Party. This systematic study of the process which created the Liberal Democrats in 1988 adds to our understanding of what was a rare but important event in British politics. We demonstrate that it deviated from theoretical accounts of such mergers that stress the need for trust at the elite level. We recognise that inter-party trust can instead develop across …
Renegotiation Versus Brexit: The Question of the UK's Constitutional Relationship with the EU
This article examines how the British public perceived UK Prime Minister David Cameron's plan to renegotiate his country's relationship with the EU. It asks whether attitudes towards renegotiation followed a similar pattern to attitudes towards Brexit. It asks: are preferences towards renegotiation and Brexit related, and did British citizens perceive them as conflicting or complementary? We modelled the similarities and differences between these…
Opposing Europe, Opposing Austerity
This chapter helps the readers to enhance the understanding of radical left parties (RLPs) through using comparative frameworks designed to study other radical parties and mainstream parties. It shows that RLPs have continued to promote a range of Eurosceptic positions and seek to differentiate themselves from one another on European issues, and classified RLPs according to a framework of rejectionist, conditional and expansionist/integrationist …

On the (non) distinctiveness of Marxism-Leninism: The Portuguese and Greek communist parties compared
The study of parties that label themselves as Marxist-Leninist has, for the most part been subsumed in the exploration of the broader radical (or, far) left tradition in the post-1989 period. In an attempt to bridge this gap in the recent literature on radical left parties, this article attempts to uncover the (non) distinctiveness of Marxism-Leninism by studying empirically two European parties that are self-labelled as Marxist-Leninist — the Gr…
Pulling together in a crisis? Anarchism, feminism and the limits of left-wing convergence in austerity Britain
In this article, we examine three key, recently emergent sites of anti-austerity activism in Britain - Left Unity, the People's Assembly and Occupy - in order to explore to what extent and in which ways the traditional British left is in the process of reconfiguring itself. More specifically, we explore the 'points of contact' being developed, or not, amongst feminist, anarchist and Marxist/socialist activists. We argue that if we are seeing a mu…
Towards an Analytical Framework for Party Mergers: Operationalising the Cases of the German Left Party and the Dutch Green Left
The theoretical literature on party mergers is thin. This article draws upon organisational behaviour research to create an analytical framework that is suitable for explaining the processes inherent in party mergers. The authors operationalise this framework by examining two cases of party merger: in Germany, between the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) and the Electoral Alternative for Labour and Social Justice (WASG) in 2006/07, and in the …
