The Dutch Election Shows How Not to Defeat Populism
New York Times
(2017)
Abstract
The parliamentary election in the Netherlands on Wednesday was predicted to be the next populist show of strength after the Brexit referendum and Donald Trump’s election. The Dutch would be the first of a number of European countries to succumb to the right-wing populists’ siren songs in 2017, with the French not far behind. It didn’t work out that way.
