Summary:

This volume analyses the Northern League under its founder Umberto Bossi (1991-2012). An ideologically coherent, rooted and well led mass party that was able to exert significant influence on political debates in its country and serve in government several times, the League has much to teach political scientists today on the reasons behind populist growth, endurance, and success.
