- Abstract
The growing prominence of radical right-wing parties in Europe has been accompanied by academic studies of their electoral performance and analyses of their political discourse. However, the study of the consequences and effects of the presence of these parties has been little addressed. The aim of this research is to examine the impact of the radical right on the quality of democracy, focusing on 25 European countries during the period 1980-2020. Using multivariate techniques, we seek to correlate the presence of the radical right in legislatures with evolution of the liberal democracy index (which shows the health of political and institutional mechanisms), the equal protection index (which measures the rights and freedoms of different social groups) and the gender exclusion index (which shows the degree of achievement of gender equality). The results suggest, albeit modestly, that the presence of radical right-wing parties is associated with a worsening of democratic quality in some general and specific aspects of rights and freedoms. This is not the case, however, with regard to gender equality. The findings indicate an interest in continuing to develop an empirically based comparative agenda on this issue.
