Title: From International Populism to Transnational Populism
Abstract: The final chapter summarises the book’s main findings and their significance. It then considers the future for radical right populists at European level and the factors for and against the creation of a lasting, unique, ideologically homogenous radical right populist group. These include the potentially unifying effects of the post-Brexit withdrawal of the UK Conservatives and UKIP, and divisive issues such as the very diverse attitudes to Russia and Vladimir Putin found among radical right populists. The chapter argues that, given greater public support for EU membership and the fact that the chief concern of radical right populists, namely immigration, is perceived first and foremost as a European issue, radical right populists are likely in the coming years to continue to mix “international populism” and “transnational populism”, by presenting themselves not just as saviours of their nations, but of Europe.
