Sommario/riassunto

This book analyses in detail the electoral manifestos and programmes presented by twenty-two parties during the European Parliamentary



elections in 2009. The research indicates that radical right-wing parties usually have Europhobic impulses, however, radical left-wing parties are, in theory, favourable to European integration, but dispute the direction currently imposed by the EU authorities.
