Abstract

Recent years have seen a rise in support for right-wing populist parties in Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark. Anders Ravik Jupskås writes that mainstream parties in these countries, faced with this growth, have chosen between four different strategies: ignoring far-right parties, isolating them, adopting some of their policies, or collaborating with them in order to gain office. He finds that there is no ‘best’ strategy for mainstream social democratic parties, but that they would also do well to acknowledge some of the issues, such as immigration, that the populist right often gain traction from.
