Description
This book explores the intersection of gender, political representation, and regional governance within populist radical right (PRR) parties in Italy. It examines how PRR parties construct gendered narratives to shape political identities, mobilise support, and influence social policies at the subnational level. Focusing on the regional electoral campaigns and leadership styles of two prominent Lega politicians, Lucia Borgonzoni and Susanna Ceccardi, the study reveals the dual role of women as both political actors and symbolic figures within PRR discourse. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and qualitative content analysis, the book uncovers the complex and sometimes contradictory ways in which gender is mobilised in regional populist politics. By centring on regional case studies, it offers fresh insights into the gendered dynamics of populism, contributing to broader debates on gender, right-wing politics, and decentralised governance. This work is particularly relevant in the current European context, where PRR parties are gaining influence and subnational arenas are becoming key battlegrounds over gender, identity, and social policy.
