Although 'populism' has become something of a buzzword in
discussions about politics, it tends to be studied by country or
region. This is the first book to offer a genuine cross-regional
perspective on populism and its impact on democracy. By analyzing
current experiences of populism in Europe and the Americas, this
edited volume convincingly demonstrates that populism can be both a
threat and a corrective to democracy. The contributors also
demonstrate the interesting similarities between right-wing and
left-wing populism: both types of populism are prone to defend a
political model that is not against democracy per se, but rather at
odds with liberal democracy. Populism in Europe and the Americas
offers new insights into the current state of democracy from both a
theoretical and an empirical point of view.
