studies used in this analysis make a lot of sense. One might argue that the inclusion of one defunct party (the National Alliance) and another party whose influence has considerably declined since 2012 (the Greek Popular Orthodox Rally) makes the book less timely or slightly outdated. I would disagree with that view, as all three empirical chapters make a clear distinction between the three far right party models which can be used to conceptualise the evolving position of well-established and emerging far right parties across Europe. As such, the conceptualisation offered by Vasilopoulou can be applied to many other far right parties, such as the Dutch Party for Freedom or the Sweden Democrats for instance, and the volume thus paves the way for future research on far right Euroscepticism. This book is based on Vasilopoulou’s doctoral dissertation at the London School of Economics, entitled ‘Euroscepticism and the radical right: domestic strategies and party system dynamics’ and published in 2010. Her research was brilliantly summarised in an article published in Government and Opposition in 2011 (volume 46, issue 2). Since then, much has changed at the European Union level. Yet, this volume takes into consideration some of the most recent developments by including up-to-date data, while the conclusion discusses the impact of events such as the migration crisis, the Brexit referendum or the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. Published ahead of the crucial 2019 European Parliament elections, this was an important book which should be read by all scholars interested in populism, the radical right and opposition to European integration. It also provides key insights to practitioners and journalists, as major differences between far right parties provided by the author tend to be overlooked by the media. In sum, Vasilopoulou’s book is a brilliant comparative study and it should be used as a key text for future studies on the topic. As far right parties (like pro-European and Eurosceptic movements) will need to adapt their position as a response to Brexit, Far Right Parties and Euroscepticism: Patterns of Opposition provides both the theoretical and empirical foundations needed for an in-depth understanding of party-based Euroscepticism.
