War By Any Other Name: Left and Right in the Era of Populism: Left and Right in the Era of European Populism

Europe's future is darkening. The far right is on the ascent, while the centre left clings to neoliberalism. In his first essay collection, John Foster plumbs the depths of the crisis and what it portends for the post-Cold War order. Moving back and forth between the European Union's most prominent member states – France, Germany, and Italy – and Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom, War By Any Other Name's geographic breadth is stunning. From ideology to economics and local to EU-level analyses, John Foster is at home in all his beats. This is old-fashioned, slow journalism that mines every conceivable angle. A continuous exploration of populism punctuates War By Any Other Name. Theorists such as Dutch sociologist Cas Mudde, Belgian philosopher Chantal Mouffe and the Frankfurt School's Theodor Adorno figure prominently. Compiling articles written for The Battleground since its launch in March 2019, War By Any Other Name illuminates the platform's progressive mission and focus on political narratives.
