Populism
Aims to show that populism has suffered from being considered, usually in relation to particular contexts, and has therefore become a rather fractured and elusive concept. This book also seeks to provide a different definition of populism, a survey of other definitions and perspectives, and a guide to populist politics around the world.
Art Workshop with Paul Taggart
The secret of Paul Taggart's approach to painting is that anyone can paint or draw if given the right help. The step-by-step approach used in this book gives readers the confidence to start and detailed help to enable painting in any medium chosen including watercolours, pastels, oils and acrylics. The book includes a final secion dealing with mixing colours, with a list of materials needed and the author's own paintings which are used for demonstration purposes.
Art Workshop with Paul Taggart
Each watercolour technique is examined in a separate chapter Line and Wash, Wet on Dry, Wet and Wet and Combination Techniques and each chapter has advice on materials, preparation, starting off, finishing off and common problems. There are detailed step-by-step instructions in the form of artstrips - each one hand painted by Paul Taggart himself - as well as sample projects for painting from a photograph and painting in the field for each method. There is also advice on colour mixing and general hints.
The New Populism and the New Politics
Two of the major forces that have made an impact on West European politics in recent years have been Green and New Populist parties. While they differ radically in their ideological positions, policy prescriptions and bases of support, taken together they represent the left and right versions of a protest against the general direction and form of contemporary politics. Surveying the fortunes of these two types of parties in different countries, the author develops a framework for explaining their relative success and failure. Using the specific cases of two Swedish protest parties, the Green Party and New Democracy, a systematic comparison is made of their electoral constituencies, party organization and elite behaviour to show that there are common origins, similar difficulties but divergent strategies. The case study reveals the different way in which political systems incorporate contemporary left and right forms of protest.

The Oxford Handbook of Populism

Democracies and the Populist Challenge
Populism has become a favourite catchword for mass media and politicians faced with the challenge of protest parties or movements. It has often been equated with radical right leaders or parties. This volume offers a different perspective and underlines that populism is an ambiguous but constitutive component of democratic systems torn between their ideology (government of the people, by the people, for the people) and their actual functioning, characterised by the role of the elites and the limits put on the popular will by liberal constitutionalism.
The Populist Radical Right
The populist radical right is one of the most studied political phenomena in the social sciences, counting hundreds of books and thousands of articles. This is the first reader to bring together the most seminal articles and book chapters on the contemporary populist radical right in western democracies. It has a broad regional and topical focus and includes work that has made an original theoretical contribution to the field, which make them less time-specific. The reader is organized in six thematic sections: (1) ideology and issues; (2) parties, organizations, and subcultures; (3) leaders, members, and voters; (4) causes; (5) consequences; and (6) responses. Each section features a short introduction by the editor, which introduces and ties together the selected pieces and provides discussion questions and suggestions for further readings. The reader is ended with a conclusion in which the editor reflects on the future of the populist radical right in light of (more) recent political developments – most notably the Greek economic crisis and the refugee crisis – and suggest avenues for future research.
