This includes – but is not restricted to – research on (i) conceptual, historical and measurement debates surrounding populism and political extremism, (ii) the internal and external (supply-side) components of populist parties and partisan actors and extremist organizations and activists, (iii) individual and contextual determinants of support for populism and political extremism, (iv) populist and extremist strategies of political communication (v) on- and off-line discourses by populist and politically extremist actors, (vi) direct or indirect paths towards political (policy) influence, and (vii) old and new patterns of mobilisation. The Section will bring together several substantive and methodological research traditions from various disciplines, with a particular interest in those who seek to bridge some of these thematic areas. At the same time, this section seeks to harmonise and unify different analytical focuses. More specifically, we provide a comprehensive analysis by including (i) comparative contributions including both European and American countries, (ii) supply- and demand-side dynamics, (iii) national and supranational levels of analysis, and (iv) dynamics within and beyond the electoral arenas.  We do not favour any specific methodological approach over any other, but this Section particularly promotes mixed-method, comparative and innovative discussions.&#160;Bien cordialement,Caterina Froio &#38; Steven Van Hauwaert&#160;&#160;Dr. Caterina FroioVOX-Pol Research Fellow, University of OxfordOxford Internet Institute34 St Giles Oxford, Oxford OX1 3JSUnited Kingdomhttps://oxford.academia.edu/CaterinaFroio
