Populism and Key Concepts in Social and Political Theory
This volume aims to generate a dialogue between scholarship on populism and social and political theory. It focuses on citizenship, class, gender, cleavages, sovereignty, accountability, participation, leadership, and parties. The volume explores how classical and current theorists developed these categories, how they were used by scholars of populism, and what populism tells us about their heuristic advantages and limitations. The authors of this book have studied populism in Europe, the US, and Latin America from distinct perspectives. The chapters thus focus on experiences in both the Global North and South. Contributors are: Cecilia Biancalana, Paula Diehl, Reinhard Heinisch, Klaudia Koxha, Alfio Mastropaolo, Oscar Mazzoleni, Enrique Peruzzotti, Kenneth M. Roberts, Luis Roniger, and Carlos de la Torre. Populism and Key Concepts in Social and Political Theory is now available in paperback for individual customers.
Perspectives on Populism
While the surge of populism in the West has attracted considerable public attention, countries often considered to be on Europe's 'periphery' have largely escaped both scholarly and general interest. Political developments in Armenia, Albania, Bosnia, Georgia, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia are poorly understood politically and often opaque to non-specialists. Yet the societies, economies, politics and the aspirations of the people in these countries remain closely intertwined with the rest of Europe and its development. From the perspectives of scholars from the region, this book offers an informed assessment of the role, causes and political consequences of populism in areas that are important but often ignored parts of the European political landscape.

Nationalpopulismus bildet?
Der Aufstieg des Populismus in westlichen Demokratien fordert nicht nur die etablierten politischen Parteien und kulturellen wie wirtschaftlichen Eliten heraus. Auch Schulen, Hochschulen und Universitäten sehen sich veranlasst, sich gegenüber politischen Bewegungen zu positionieren, die sie in Bezug auf ihre humanistischen, pluralistischen und diversitätsfreundlichen Bildungsideale attackieren. Wie kann dieses politische Phänomen, das die demokratischen Bausteine der westlichen Nachkriegsordnung und die Trägerprinzipien des modernen öffentlichen Schulwesens unmittelbar bedroht, neu definiert werden? Wie kann das moderne Schulwesen Bewegungen gegenübertreten, die eindimensional-simplifizierendes Denken, antidemokratische und diskriminierende Einmütigkeit sowie den nationalistischen Rückzug propagieren? Sind Bildungseinrichtungen nicht dazu verpflichtet, immer mehr auf ihre Neutralität zu verzichten, um ein demokratisches System in der Krise zu verteidigen? Mit diesen grundsätzlichen Fragestellungen, die Auszubildende und Ausbildende der pädagogischen Hochschulen vor dem Hintergrund ihres Bildungsauftrags betreffen, befasst sich der vorliegende Tagungsband.
EU Enlargement and the Failure of Conditionality
Among the criteria for accession to the European Union are democracy and the Rule of Law. In the insightful analysis offered by the author of this book, these concepts - while admirable and even necessary criteria in principle - are almost impossible to measure, and any judgement grounded in them will always be difficult to justify. In his words, 'by including analysis of democracy and the Rule of Law within the field of the EU enlargement law, the Union entered an unstable terrain of vague causal connections and blurred definitions.' Dr Kochenov addresses this problem by proceeding as follows: 1. Outlining EU enlargement law in general, including the principle of conditionality and the role...
Political Populism
All over Europe, we are currently witnessing populist political parties and figures enjoying success in elections and mobilising the electorate against the supposed elite. The most recent example of this political development is the Brexit campaign in the UK, which demonstrated that populists can exert considerable influence over political decisions. Populist parties are also enjoying election successes outside Europe; this phenomenon has been occurring in the US and Latin America for a long time, for example. The new "Handbook on Political Populism" offers a comprehensive theoretical and empirical introduction to populist politics in Europe, the Americas and beyond. It focuses on explaining the phenomenon of populism as a consequence of the crisis of the representational system and aims to highlight the controversies and limits of current academic research and debate on the subject.
Subversive Institutions
From 1989 to 1992, all of the socialist dictatorships in Europe (including the Soviet Union) collapsed, as did the Soviet bloc. Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia dismembered, and the Cold War international order came to an abrupt end. Based on a series of controlled comparisons among regimes and states, Valerie Bunce argues in this book that two factors account for these remarkable developments: the institutional design of socialism as a regime, a state, and a bloc, and the rapid expansion during the 1980s of opportunities for domestic and international change. When combined, institutions and opportunities explain not just when, how, and why these regimes and states disintegrated, but also some of the most puzzling features of these developments - why, for example, the collapse of socialism was largely peaceful and why Yugoslavia, but not the Soviet Union or Czechoslovakia, disintegrated through war.

Populism in Latin America
This updated edition of Populism in Latin America discusses new developments in populism as a political phenomenon and the emergence of new populist political figures in Mexico, Argentina, and Venezuela in particular. For more than one hundred years—from the beginning of the twentieth to the early twenty-first century—Latin American populists proved amazingly successful at gaining high office, holding on to power, maintaining their followings, and renewing their careers. They raised more campaign money, got more voters to the polls,and held followers’ allegiances far better than traditional politicians. Certainly some populist leaders were corrupt, others manipulated their followers, a...
