Today, there is no comparable threat to Western democracies as the
rise of right-wing populism. While it has played an increasing role
at least since the 1990s, only the social consequences of the
global financial crises in 2008 have given its break that led to
UK's 'Brexit' and the election of Donald Trump as US President in
2016 but also promoted what has been called left populism in
countries that were hit the hardest from both the banking crisis
and consequential neo-liberal austerity politics in the EU like
Greece and Portugal. In 2017, the French Front National (FN)
attracted many voters in the French Presidential elections; we have
seen the radicalization of the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) in
Germany and the formation of centre-right government in Austria.
Further, we have witnessed the consolidation of autocratic regimes
as in the EU member states Poland and Greece. All these
manifestations of right-wing populism share a common feature: they
attack or even compromise the core elements of democratic societies
such as the separation of powers, protection of minorities, or the
rule of law. Despite a broad debate on the re-emergence of
'populism' in the transition from the twentieth to the twenty-first
century that has brought forth many interesting findings, a lack of
sociological reasoning cannot be denied as sociology itself
withdrew from theorising populism decades ago and left the field to
mainly political sciences and history. In a sense, Populism and the
Crisis of Democracy considers itself as a contribution to start
with filling this lacuna. Written in a direct and clear style, this
set of volumes will be an invaluable reference for students and
scholars in the field of political theory, political sociology and
European Studies.
