Through a social network analysis (Plehwe) of this movement and a morphological language analysis (Freeden) of select actors’ intellectual output, this article shifts the focus from large-scale structural changes to individual actors. I argue that that the Norwegian Progress Party’s youth wing functioned as a hub for young, liberally inclined intellectuals in the 1980s and early 1990s, painting a drastic contrast to the present guise of this party.</span></p> ER -
