論文Scholars of populist radical right parties commonly shared knowledge that the UK was immune to such parties until the UK Independence Party (UKIP) recently broke into UK politics, hitherto compounded of the Labour, Conservative, and Liberal Democratic Parties.Research on UKIP still trails its quick rise from 2009 onwards, as demonstrated by publication of serious and comprehensive literature, "Revolt on the Right", coming as late as this year (2015) even in the UK. Limitations of studies by Japanese scholars, therefore, should be considered natural.This paper aims to fill the void. After examining UKIP's characteristics and its supporters by drawing on the 2010 UKIP manifesto and survey data in Chapters 2 and 3, I explore reasons behind its emergence, from perspectives of both demand-side and supply-side factors, especially focusing on the convergence thesis in Chapter 4.An introductory consideration of UKIP's influence on Scottish nationalism and vice versa is also made in Chapter 5.
