Epilogue: European democracy after Paris"ReviewsNever afraid to tell it like it is, Cas Mudde may be a born contrarian but he always knows what he's talking about. This collection exemplifies Mudde's trademark mix of scholarly expertise and take-no-prisoners commitment to making us all think twice before we take too much for granted. Genuinely a great read. Tim Bale, Professor of Politics, Queen Mary University of London, UK A must-read for anyone interested in this riveting European political moment-populism, freedom of speech, far-right, far-left, religion, Euroscepticism, and euro-crisis. It's all here: well written, provocative, and engaging. Always original and thought-provoking, Cas Mudde combines wonderful political savvy with unrivalled academic expertise. Catherine Fieschi, Director, Counterpoint, UK Cas Mudde is the leading public intellectual drawing attention to the challenges to liberal democracy and the European project represented by populist, Eurosceptic parties. Dismissing convenient, simplistic hype over this phenomenon and highlighting the contradictory responses of governments this book defines the issues likely to dominate European politics for years to come. Geoffrey Harris, European Parliament official (1976-2016) and author of The Dark Side of Europe. This collection distils the essential Mudde. His characteristically forthright dissection of key political trends includes a primer on populism that will be widely cited, but he also warns of the dangers of blaming populism for all the problems besetting liberal democracy in Europe today. Mudde's analysis of the damage done by mainstream parties and politicians in the name of combatting extremism should be essential reading for all Europeans worried about the future of democracy and the EU. Heather Grabbe, Director, Open Society European Policy Institute, Belgium Cas Mudde is one of the leading specialists of the populist radical right. He is also a man with strong moral and civic values. The pathological normalcy theory he exposes in this collection of his articles is a key to understanding the mounting challenge of the extreme right to liberal democracy. It is also well worth reading his criticism of undemocratic liberalism , as the reason for the successes of Left-Wing populism.
