Beschreibung
While much attention has been devoted to left-behind places in rural areas, Mirko Crulli turns around the telescope and presents an outstanding study of the ways in which cultural conflict manifests itself in Western Europe’s metropolises. He convincingly demonstrates that urban centres and suburban neighbourhoods increasingly represent two sides of the cultural divide, and that the characteristics of these centres and neighbourhoods contribute to their polarisation.
— Sarah L. de Lange, Leiden University, The Netherlands
How is the rise of globalization-driven cultural conflict reflected in the metropolitan geography of public opinion and voting behaviour? This book answers that question by exploring divides between metropolitan centres and outskirts in contemporary Europe. It highlights how increased polarization between traditionalist–authoritarian–nationalist and green–alternative–libertarian values has a distinct metropolitan dimension – one rarely examined so far. This dimension is shaped by both compositional and contextual factors, such as geographic peripherality and housing market dynamics. Essential reading for understanding how urban and suburban contexts are associated with political behaviour in ways that transcend traditional left-right divides.
Mirko Crulli is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre d’Etude de la Vie Politique of the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. He also serves as Adjunct Professor of Political Science at LUISS, Italy. His primary research interests include cleavage politics, voting behaviour and public opinion, populism and radical right politics, political geography. His work on these topics has been published in leading international journals, such as Journal of European Public Policy and West European Politics.

“While much attention has been devoted to left-behind places in rural areas, Mirko Crulli turns around the telescope and presents an outstanding study of the ways in which cultural conflict manifests itself in Western Europe’s metropolises. He convincingly demonstrates that urban centres and suburban neighbourhoods increasingly represent two sides of the cultural divide, and that the characteristics of these centres and neighbourhoods contribute to their polarisation.” (Sarah L. de Lange, Leiden University, The Netherlands)
“Mirko Crulli’s high-quality volume provides a robust quantitative analysis that masterfully bridges cleavage theory and urban political geography, highlighting the distinct metropolitan dimension of contemporary cultural conflict. Focusing on London and Rome, this essential research reveals how contextual factors and the suburbanisation of nativism drive electoral polarisation, transforming peripheries into new bastions of radical right politics.” (Alessandro Chiaramonte, University of Florence, Italy)
“Mirko Crulli offers a compelling analysis of the ‘transnational cleavage’ reshaping European politics. By examining London and Rome, he masterfully demonstrates how metropolitan outskirts have become bastions of Eurosceptic and nativist sentiment. In a brilliant exploration of the cultural conflicts defining contemporary Europe, this essential read unveils the spatial polarization defining our urban future.” (Gianfranco Baldini, University of Bologna, Italy)
