Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper investigates the recent government participation of a number of radical right-wing populist parties in West European parliamentary democracies. On the basis of formal coalition formation theories these government coalitions are characterized and inferences are made about the reasons behind the formation of these government coalitions. From the results of the analysis it can be concluded that a combination of office- and policy-seeking motives has inspired the formation of the government coalitions in which radical right-wing populist parties have participated. Two trends in West European party system are identified that have promoted the formation of these government coalitions: 1) an electoral shift to the right and 2) the convergence of mainstream and radical right-wing populist parties on the left-right dimension.
