Technocratic appeals to expertise and populist invocations of 'the
people' have become mainstays of political competition in
established democracies. This development is best understood as the
emergence of technopopulism-a new political logic that is being
superimposed on the traditional struggle between left and right.
Political movements and actors-such as Italy's Five Star Movement
and France's La Republiqe En Marche-combine technocratic and
populist appeals in a variety of ways, as do more established
parties that are adapting to the particular set of incentives and
constraints implicit in this new, unmediated form of politics. In
the first book-length treatment of the phenomenon of
technopopulism, we combine theoretical and historical approaches,
offering a systematic definition of the concept of technopopulism,
while also exploring a number of salient contemporary examples.
This book provides a detailed account of the emergence of this new
political logic, as well as a discussion of its troubling
consequences for existing democratic regimes. It ends by
considering some possible remedies that go beyond the simplistic
idea that in the right 'dose' populism and technocracy can
counter-balance one another.
