A timely and incisive assessment of what the success of populism means for democracy. Populist movements have recently appeared in nearly every democracy around the world. Yet our grasp of this disruptive political phenomenon remains woefully inadequate. Politicians of all stripes appeal to the interests of the people, and every opposition party campaigns against the current establishment. What, then, distinguishes populism from run-of-the-mill democratic politics? And why should we be concerned by its rise? In Me the People, Nadia Urbinati argues that populism should be regarded as a new form of representative government, one based on a direct relationship between the leader and those the l...

Hay buenas razones para sentirse decepcionado con el sistema político. Las numerosas promesas que la democracia ha incumplido, la tendencia general de las economías a agudizar las desigualdades, los pavorosos ejemplos de corrupción gubernamental, el conformismo que los ciudadanos perciben en los partidos: la mesa está puesta para que queramos acabar con lo establecido, ese equilibrio que parece beneficiar a una élite y marginar a las mayorías.
