Azmanova, Albena (2004) Europe’s Novel Political Cultures in the Early Twenty-first Century. Contemporary Politics, 10 (2). pp. 111-125. ISSN 1356-9775. (doi:10.1080/1356977042000278766) (KAR id:776)

Abstract

In the course of national elections held in EU member states in the past five years (since the elections for the European Parliament in 1999), a shift in governments' composition, political style and public sensitivities denotes the emergence of novel political cultures in Europe. By way of articulating similarities in the electoral dynamics in EU member-states at the turn of the new century, this study discerns the signs of this transformation in European political cultures. As a result of this change, the left-right alignment along economic policies is being obliterated by a new fault-line: one that is dictated by the security- risk dilemma of the 'new economy'.
