Changing Working Life and the Appeal of the Extreme Right


Description: This book investigates the interplay of the recent transformation of working life and the growing appeal of political right-wing populism and extremism in Europe. It explores the individual and collective reactions and the strategies people develop in order to come to terms with socio-economic change. It raises the question of whether, and to what extent, changes in the employment system and in working life contribute to making people receptive to xenophobia, nationalism and racism.

Based on an eight country study using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, this volume makes a significant contribution to the deeper understanding of the subjective reactions to socio-economic change and its political reverberations.

Reviews There exists a commonplace in public opinion, as well as academia, that workers necessarily lean to the political left. This volume offers carefully researched cross-cultural European evidence to the contrary. A wonderful collection of top-notch scholarship. Andrei S. Markovits, Karl W.
