Anti-system parties: from parliamentary breakthrough to government

Zulianello’s 2019 book provides an elegant and extremely solid response to this major requirement and has since become a constant source of reference in the contemporary comparative politics literature. His analysis follows an explicit dynamic party-centric approach. More specifically, Zulianello assumes that in studying antisystem parties it is necessary to tackle three issues simultaneously: their competitive prospects over time, the different patterns of integration into ‘the system’ they oppose, and, most importantly, their possible evolutions following parliamentary entry and/or participation in government.
