The year 1910 marks the first time the Tour de France, only seven years young, will include a section through the high mountain passes of the Pyrenees. The weather is awful. The routes are perilous. The rules are still a work in progress. Nutrition? Safety? These racers didn't even have derailleurs. They barely had gears. In a genuinely superhuman feat of determination and endurance they rode through literal blood, sweat, mud, snow, starvation, tears, and utter despair to make the Tour de France what it is today: a contest of colossi, a clash of titans, a tour... of giants.

This book provides a series of specific predictions about the distinct impact of populist ideas. In this sequel to the first volume, the ideational approach to populism is extended, providing a robust theoretical framework for understanding populism’s consequences and for identifying policies that mitigate its most negative effects. It reaffirms that ideas matter, arguing that an ideational definition of populism leads to more accurate, and sometimes surprising predictions about the impact of populism at multiple levels of analysis. The chapters of this edited volume explore the effect of populist ideas in each of four areas: consequences for state-level institutions, voters, and international relations; and mitigation. The ideational approach encourages us instead to invest in more systematic engagement with populists and pay better attention to our communication skills. It will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, international relations, social psychology, and political communication.

Schon zu Beginn der 40er Jahre auf hohem Level erfolgreiche Akteure wie Bartali, Coppi, Kübler und Schotte sowie neue Helden namens Van Steenbergen, Koblet, Bobet, Anquetil und Gaul setzten fortan die Glanzlichter im Profi-Peloton. Später in den 60er und 70er Jahren folgten dann Poulidor, Van Looy, Gimondi, Merckx, Ocaña und De Vlaeminck. Die vorliegende, aus zwei Bänden bestehende Chronik pr...
