The People's Party in Latvia: Neo-Liberalism and the New Politics of Independence

The political success of the neo-liberal People's Party in a mainly nationalist context of post-Soviet Latvia represents a development unpredicted by research. The previous analyses did not consider the importance of globalization and region's global aspirations in creating new social groups with different political interests. A variety of secondary sources, press materials, party documents and regional analysis show that the rise of the People's Party in 1998 is symptomatic of the potentially positive effect of international integration in Latvia. Concretely, the party's entry into the political scene signalled the end of the earlier, ethnic-oriented and nationalist political system, and the beginning of a more class-based politics.
