Populism
chapter
posted on 2023-06-08, 12:43 authored by Cristobal Rovira Kaltwasser, Cas MuddeIn consonance with much of the existing scholarship, this article develops an ideational approach to the study of populism. Furthermore, it proposes a minimal concept of populism that can be used to analyze populist forces across time and space. According to this minimal concept, populism is defined as a thin-centered ideology, which is based not only on the Manichean distinction between ‘the pure people’ and ‘the corrupt elite’, but also on the defense of popular sovereignty at any cost. The article also examines the most common subtypes of populism and sheds light on current examples of populism in North and South America as well as in Eastern and Western Europe. Lastly, the article discusses the complex relationship that populism maintains with democracy, nationalism and gender.
