Turn to the right, turn away from the green?—A nuanced analysis on how a populist radical right party affects environmental policy making in Sweden

Populist radical right parties are on the rise all over Europe. Recent literature investigates their effects on environmental policy, however, often applying an overly broad perspective on the policy area and neglecting causal mechanisms. This article addresses both gaps in an in‐depth case study of partisan effects on Swedish environmental policy in the wake of increasing populist radical right influence. A novel data approach deriving party positions and policy output from the hard figures of budget proposals between 2001 and 2023, allows a nuanced analysis of environmental policy and its subsectors (e.g., nature conservation and climate mitigation). In summary, a traditional partisan effect is confirmed as a major explaining factor for environmental policy change, while the effect unfolds through altered coalition formation strategies leading to the exclusion of “green voices.” This brings to the fore interactive environmental policy effects of the populist radical right and center‐right parties in the context of changing party competition constellations more generally.

This paper examines the socio-political divisions within the Kingdom of Sweden, in order to provide an analytical insight into the positioning of Swedish parties during the campaign for the 2022 parliamentary elections (for the Riksdag). This analysis consequently contributes to the understanding of the election results achieved by major Swedish parties. Therefore, the first objective of the paper involves providing an analysis of party programmess and election results, while the second objective of the research aims to identify dependent and independent variables that contributed to the positioning and the subsequent success/failure of the eight largest Swedish parties in the parliamentary elections held in September 2022. By applying the method of discourse analysis and the method of document/data analysis, different strategies of party positioning are studied, with Lipset and Rokkan's (1967) theory of party alignment being utilised as the theoretical framework; with a special emphasis on their theory of social cleavages. The paper begins with the hypothesis that pre-election campaigns of Swedish parties were mostly influenced by their need to position themselves in relation to two topics; the topic of immigration and the topic of health and educational system reform. The results of the research indicate that Swedish parties are increasingly more ready to change their historically recognisable attitudes and positions in line with current issues, in order to achieve positive election results. This trend is partially responsible for changes in the Swedish party system, which - however - remains partially intact for the time being, as can be seen from the outcome of the election.
