Abstract

West European party systems have become characterised by increasing fragmentation and the rise of new challenger parties. Delia Zollinger writes that while these developments may suggest a future of political volatility, this need not be the case. Drawing on a new study, she illustrates that we may instead be witnessing the rise of a new political divide that has the potential to structure politics in the years to come.
