The Great Realignment: Why the New Right Is Here to Stay

byStephen Davies

Stephen Davies argues that the rise of the new right reflects a lasting reorganization of political competition rather than a temporary protest against established parties. Looking across countries, he traces social and economic changes that weaken older alliances and bring questions of national identity, sovereignty, and cosmopolitanism to the foreground. His account examines why familiar divisions over markets and state intervention no longer explain many electoral choices. The book offers a comparative framework for understanding shifting coalitions and the pressures facing political institutions as voters and parties redefine what their central conflicts are about.
