Creating certainty where there is none: Artificial intelligence as political concept
Recent developments in research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) have prompted a growing politicisation of AI. In this paper, we critically analyse how AI is being construed in public discourse and with what political implications. Approaching AI as a mobilising political concept, and focusing on the public pronouncements made by influential tech commentators, we identify and subject to technical and critical scrutiny four key themes in contempora…
Post-‘Post-Fascism’ and Far Right Mainstreaming in Italy: Assessing Continuity Between the Italian Social Movement, National Alliance and Brothers of Italy
The mainstreaming of the far right is a defining feature of European politics, raising concerns that incorporating far right parties into democratic politics could lead to the normalisation of undemocratic ideas. This paper explores this contention in the case of Brothers of Italy, a radical right party with extreme right roots. Conceptualising mainstreaming as the result of moderation or normalisation, it assesses whether Brothers of Italy can f…

Dancing with the devil? Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen and the articulation of a new political divide in France
This paper investigates how political challengers articulate new political divides in European political party systems and with what implications for representative democracy. Focusing on the case of France and the discourse and practices of Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen, the paper identifies three strategies these actors have used to articulate a new political division beyond Left and Right: the discursive rejection of traditional Left/Right…

Party Views on Democratic Backsliding and Differentiated Integration
Both political parties and differentiated integration (DI) play an ambivalent role in regard to democratic backsliding. Parties’ positioning towards democratic backsliding has not always been straightforward, and DI has been seen as facilitating it. We analyse whether party actors view democratic backsliding as a problematic issue for the EU, if they think DI facilitates it, and how they consider the EU should respond to it. Drawing on thirty-fiv…

The Democratic Dilemmas of Differentiated Integration: The Views of Political Party Actors
Differentiated integration (DI) appeals as a pragmatic way of accommodating political and economic differences among member states (MS). However, it potentially challenges their equal standing in EU decision‐making, creating the possibility for some MS to dominate others. As such, it risks undermining the democratic legitimacy of the EU. Drawing on 35 interviews with party actors in seven MS, we find many shared these concerns, thereby questionin…
Europe as ideological resource: The case of the Rassemblement National
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Taylor & Francis via the DOI in this record
“Ni droite, Ni gauche, Français!”
The chapter investigates the rationale behind the distinction between ‘Globalists’ and ‘Patriots’ brought forward by Marine Le Pen. In particular, it argues that far right parties have ideological and strategic reasons to reject the Left/Right dichotomy and replace it with one that is more compatible with their worldview. While this new distinction may not be readily included in political analysis, it points towards the incorporation of a new cle…
