The 2024 European Parliament Elections

Released shortly after the 2024 European Parliament elections, this book gathers contributions that analyze the elections from various perspectives. The main objective is to offer a timely assessment of different facets such as electoral systems, electoral campaigns, the public perception of the elections, the role of European parties, determinants of voting behavior, and the consequences of the electoral results for European governance. In addition to analyses from European studies, perspectives from other (sub)disciplines and research areas, such as election, party, communication and governance research, are featured in the volume. The authors, which consist of accomplished academics and civil society actors, present a highly diverse range of analyses, individually very rich and based on solid original research. Taken together, their contributions offer the reader a comprehensive understanding of the issues, parties, and mechanisms behind the European elections of 2024.
