Populist parties are often seen as a threat to liberal democracy domestically, and in the international arena, they are often accused of unwillingness to support a liberal international order. We study how what we know about foreign policy preferences of populist parties is driven by how we study the phenomenon; and how we can fix the shortcomings which exist in the literature. To sketch a future research agenda, we first conduct a systematic review of the literature on the foreign policy views of populist parties in Europe and investigate how what we know is driven by how we know it. We look at the themes of foreign policy, research methods, as well as the parties and countries in researchers' focus. Our findings indicate that skewed focus on particular countries and parties combined with a uniform use of methods contributes to a lack of detailed understanding of populist views on foreign policies. We propose future avenues of research into the foreign policy views of populist parties, including a diversification of methods and more in-depth empirical and cross-national studies on specific themes.

“…Recent pledge research (Kostadinova, 2013;Toros, 2015;Praprotnik, 2015;Thomson et al, 2014;Naurin, 2013;Dobos and Gyulai, 2015) mostly takes inspiration from a small selection of classic pieces in pledge research (Royed, 1996;Artés, 2013;Artés and Bustos, 2008;Naurin, 2011;Moury, 2011;Mansergh and Thomson, 2007;Costello and Thomson, 2008; and the APSA papers by a group of first generational pledge scholars: Thomson et al, 2010;2014) and the theoretical literature these classic pieces make reference to. The two main theoretical sources of these classic studies are the literature on responsible party government (following, inter alia, APSA, 1950 andKlingemann, Hofferbert andBudge, 1994; for an overview see: Körösényi and Sebők, 2013) and the theory of parties and coalitions as adapted to European context (such as Laver and Shepsle, 1996;Strøm et al, 2008).…”

Intersections. EEJSP 2(1): 123-152. DOI: 10.17356/ieejsp.v2i1.131 http://intersections.tk.mta.hu AbstractDespite the substantive findings of existing research, the electoral mandate is still an elusive category in representation theory and empirical political science. The article offers a conceptual framework that promises to properly evaluate mandate fulfillment in general, and pledge fulfillment in particular from the standpoint of the normative theory of representation. In this framework the non-fulfillment of pledges is not necessarily bad for representation since mandate slippage, or the gradual process of abandoning the mandate in the post-election phase, may come in both bad and good forms. The proposed framework also develops an empirical research agenda for measuring the causes of bad mandates and mandate slippage by relying and expanding on the toolkit of empirical pledge research. Outcome oriented pledges serve as a prime example of bad mandates, whereas agency shirking is a major cause of bad mandate slippage.
