Since the turn of the century, populists serving in government – or providing parliamentary support as part of formal pacts for governments – are no longer the exception in Europe. Although this move from the periphery to power has been fraught with difficulties, populists have often been able to survive the experience, when not even thrive because of it. For instance, after accessing power populist parties have not always been forced to renounce policies that were in line with their election promises, nor have they necessarily seen their electoral support plummet. This panel focuses on how populist parties have behaved in power (or near power, when providing external support to governments) in recent years. Papers will focus on populist rhetoric and discoursive strategies, party organisation (including the relationship between different levels of a party), policy proposals and acts of government, electorates, and the relationships between populist parties and their allies. One of the main aims will be to identify the strategies of adaptation to the challenges of office that populists have adopted in recent years (especially when they have returned to power more than once), and assess which parties have been particularly successful in copying with new responsibilities. Single-country case studies and comparative analyses focusing on any areas in Europe are welcome, and so are theoretical and empirical analyses.
