- Abstract
Despite the recent wealth of literature on national populism, research has often overlooked one crucial aspect: the border. This innovative book bridges these key concepts, providing a new theoretical conceptualisation of the interplay between populism, nationalism and territorial borders.In this book, borders are not considered as mere institutional boundaries between nation states; on the contrary, the authors adopt a multi-dimensional view of borders as narratives, issues and territorial spaces of mobilisation. Reconsidering the contemporary politicisation of borders in Western Europe, the authors investigate how national populism deals with territorial borders and the various meanings they embody. Empirical case studies focusing on the Swiss borderlands explore parties'programmes and discourses, representatives'attitudes, as well as public opinion and voting behaviour, offering key insights into how political actors and citizens react to trends such as growing transnational flows, globalisation and European integration. This timely book, based on original party sources and surveys, will be an essential resource for students and scholars of political science, political sociology, border studies, European integration, Euroscepticism and Swiss politics. Its context-oriented analysis will also prove beneficial to practitioners and representatives involved in cross-border cooperation.

When the popular initiative “against mass immigration” was accepted by the Swiss people and cantons on 9 February 2014, Ticino had by far the highest approval rate. The Italian-speaking canton thus once more confirmed its singular position, assumed since the 1990s, on popular votes regarding immigration and foreign policy. This seems to be indicative of wider crises and changes in both the economic and political spheres that have favoured the emergence of a political opposition between centre and periphery. The results of a survey among 1400 citizens of Ticino after the vote of 9 February confirm this. In essence, on top of the question of immigration, the vote was influenced by a fearful perception of Ticino as a “double periphery” vis-a-vis both Berne and Lombardy. Lors du vote du 9 fevrier 2014 sur l'initiative populaire “contre l'immigration de masse”, le Tessin a ete de loin le canton suisse dans lequel l'initiative a obtenu le plus large soutien. Le canton italophone confirme ainsi une fois de plus sa singularite dans les scrutins federaux sur les themes de la politique d'immigration et de la politique etrangere affichee depuis le debut des annees 1990. Le tournant de la majorite des votants tessinois semble tributaire d'un ensemble de crises et de changements a la fois economiques et politiques qui ont favorise l’emergence d'une opposition politique basee sur la dimension centre-peripherie. Les resultats d'une enquete d'opinion realisee aupres de 1400 Tessinois apres le scrutin di 9 fevrier le confirment. En effet, en plus de la question migratoire, l'orientation du vote a ete influencee par une perception contrastee du Tessin, ou domine la crainte de la “double peripherie” a la fois par rapport a Berne et a la Lombardie. In occasione del voto del 9 febbraio 2014 sull'iniziativa popolare “contro l'immigrazione di massa”, il Ticino e stato il cantone svizzero a esprimere il piu ampio sostegno all'iniziativa. Il Ticino conferma una volta ancora la propria singolarita nelle votazioni federali inerenti ai temi della politica migratoria e della politica estera che si esprime dai primi anni Novanta. La svolta della maggioranza dei votanti ticinesi e riconducibile a un insieme di crisi e trasformazioni economiche e politiche che hanno favorito l'emergere di un'opposizione politica fondata sulla dimensione centro-periferia. I risultati di un'inchiesta d'opinione realizzata presso 1400 ticinesi dopo lo scrutinio del 9 febbraio lo confermano. Infatti, oltre la questione migratoria, il voto appare influenzato da una diversa percezione del Ticino, dove prevale il timore della “doppia periferia” sia rispetto a Berna sia nei confronti della vicina Lombardia.
