In this book, Enrico Padoan proposes an original middle-range
theory to explain the emergence and the internal organisation of
anti-neoliberal populist parties in Latin America and Southern
Europe, and the relationships between these parties and the
organised working class. Padoan begins by tracing the diverging
evolution of the electoral Lefts in Latin America and Southern
Europe in the aftermath of economic crises, and during the
implementation of austerity measures within many of these nations.
A causal typology for interpreting the possible outcomes of the
realignments within the electoral Lefts is proposed. Hereafter, the
volume features five empirical chapters, four of which focus on the
rise of anti-neoliberal populist parties in Bolivia, Argentina,
Spain and Italy, while a fifth offers an analysis on four 'shadow
cases' in Venezuela, Uruguay, Portugal and Greece. Scholars of
Latin America and Comparative Politics will find Anti-Neoliberal
Populisms in Comparative Perspective a highly valuable resource,
offering a distinctive perspective on the impact of different
populisms on party systems and on the challenges that such
populisms posed to syndicalism and to traditional left-of-centre
parties.

This book launches a proposal: to fill some empirical and
theoretical gaps that presently exists in populism studies by
looking at the potential nexus between populist phenomena and
popular culture. It provides a detailed account of the multiple
mechanisms linking the production of pop music (as a form of
popular culture) to the rise and reproduction of populism. The
authors use a case study of Italy to interrogate these mechanisms
because of its long-lasting populist phenomena and the contextual
importance of pop music. The book's mixed-methods strategy assesses
three different aspects of the potential relationship between pop
music and populist politics: the cultural opportunity structure
generated and reproduced by the production of music, the strategies
political actors use to exploit music for political purposes, and,
crucially, the ways fans and ordinary citizens understand the
relationship between pop music and politics, and subsequent debates
and identities. Moving from the case study, the book in its last
chapter offers a more general understanding of the associations
between pop music and populism.
