DESCRIPTION:In light of the post-fascist victory of FdI in the Italian ele
 ction one might think right-wing populism is again on the rise. And we hav
 e seen other recent successes. Viktor Orbán has entrenched his power in H
 ungary. Marine Le Pen secured the best result in the second round of the F
 rench presidential elections as of yet. And this month\, the Swedish SD ac
 hieved their record result securing a right-wing majority.\n\nAt the same 
 time\, right-wing populists are also on the backtrack: Putin’s war has r
 evealed the dangers of the cosying up of right-wing populists to authorita
 rian leaders. Slovenia has voted for change and voted Janez Janša out of 
 office. The Austrian right-wing populist government stumbled over corrupti
 on scandals and ended its enabler Sebastian Kurz’s career.\n\nAgainst th
 is background\, FES Democracy of the Future has recently published the rep
 ort Understanding Right-Wing Populism And What To Do About It which unpack
 s the reasons for success of right-wing populist parties in Europe. The re
 port identifies regional patterns and commonalities of RWPPs across Europe
  showing the relevance of economic concerns driving right-wing populist su
 pport and the relevance of generous welfare policies in mitigating their s
 uccess. One important take-away of the report's findings is countering the
  success of right-wing populists in Europe requires progressives to focus 
 on issues of (economic) inequality especially in light of increasing econo
 mic uncertainty following the energy and inflation crisis rather than cult
 ural issues.\nSpeakers:\nDr Tim Vlandas (University of Oxford)\, Prof Daph
 ne Halikiopoulou (University of Reading)\, Prof Lenka Bustikova (Universit
 y of Oxford)\, Dr Anja Giudici (Newcastle University)
