Syriza by Cas Mudde
The Failure of the Populist Promise
The book traces the rise of the radical-left Greek coalition that surged to power during the eurozone crisis, examining its blend of leftist policy goals and populist rhetoric, internal factionalism, and electoral strategy. It analyzes how governing pressures, institutional constraints, and brutal negotiations with European creditors forced the movement into compromises that undermined its promises and alienated parts of its base. Placing the case in a broader European context, the work draws lessons about the limits of anti-establishment movements and the challenges of transforming electoral success into durable policy change.
