Populist nationalism fuses beliefs that citizens are being
exploited by a privileged elite with claims that the national
culture and interests are under threat from enemies within or
without. Ideologically fluid, populist nationalists decry
"out-of-touch" institutions such as political parties and the
mainstream press while extolling the virtues of the "people." They
claim that only populists can truly represent the nation and solve
its problems, and often call for unorthodox solutions that appeal
to the common people. The recent spread of populist nationalism
throughout the world has triggered a growing interest in the
subject, led mainly by journalists. The Brexit vote and the
election of Donald Trump in the US have provoked a flurry of media
coverage in Europe and the Americas, along with parliamentary
debates. Some social scientists have sought to explain the
resurgence of nationalism and the spread of populism in recent
decades, but important questions remain and most of the scholarship
has not adequately addressed the fusion of nationalism and
populism. It fails to examine the combination of populism and
nationalism comparatively, especially the contrast between the more
progressive and leftist versions such as those in Latin America,
and the more traditional conservative varieties that are gaining
strength in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
This interdisciplinary collection by experts on Europe and the
Americas fills this void. The volume examines various experiences
with populist nationalism, and offers theoretical tools to assess
its future. Some chapters are in-depth country case studies and
others take a broader perspective, but all open the door for
meaningful comparison.
