This volume illustrates the diversity of populism globally. When
seeking power, populists politicize issues, and point to problems
that need to be addressed such as inequalities, the loss of
national sovereignty to globalization, or the rule of unresponsive
political elites. Yet their solutions tend to be problematic,
simplistic, and in most instances, instead of leading to better
forms of democracy, their outcomes are authoritarian. Populists use
a playbook of concentrating power in the hands of the president,
using the legal system instrumentally to punish critics, and
attacking the media and civil society. Despite promising to empower
the people, populists lead to processes of democratic erosion and
even transform malfunctioning democracies into hybrid regimes. The
Routledge Handbook of Global Populism provides instructors,
students, and researchers with a thorough and systematic overview
of the history and development of populism and analyzes the main
debates. It is divided into sections on the theories of populism,
on political and social theory and populism, on how populists
politicize inequalities and differences, on the media and populism,
on its ambiguous relationships with democratization and
authoritarianism, and on the distinct regional manifestations of
populism. Leading international academics from history, political
science, media studies, and sociology map innovative ideas and
areas of theoretical and empirical research to understand the
phenomenon of global populism.
