Right-wing populism is not contagious; it only spreads if mainstream parties and the media diffuse it. This helps explain why right-wing populist parties are more successful in the Netherlands and Flanders than in Luxembourg and Wallonia, writes Léonie de Jonge
Assistant Professor in European Politics & Society, University of Groningen
Léonie holds a PhD in Politics & International Studies from the University of Cambridge (2019).
Besides studying populism, she is interested in comparative politics, the (global) far right, party politics and the intersection of politics and the media.
