There is a consensus that right, and left-wing populism is on the
rise on both sides of the Atlantic, from Donald Trump in the United
States, to Spain's leftist Podemos. These may utilize different
kinds of populist mobilizations but the fact remains that elite and
mass opinion is fuelling a populist backlash. In Populism and
Passions, twelve scholars engage with discourse analysis,
democratic theory, and post structural political thought to study
the political logic of passion for contemporary populism. Together
these interdisciplinary essays demonstrate what emotional
engagement implies for the spheres of politics and the social, and
how it governs and mobilizes individuals. The volume presents:
Theoretical and empirical implications for political analysis;
Chapters on the current rise of populism, both right and left-wing
trends, their different ideological features, and their
relationship with the logic of passion; Theoretical implications
for the future study of populism and democratic legitimacy. A
timely analysis of this political phenomena in contemporary Western
democracies, Populism and Passions is ideal for students and
scholars in political theory, comparative politics, social theory,
critical theory, cultural studies, and global studies.
What is the impact of populism on the EU? How did the EU
institutions and civil society react to the recent rise of populist
parties? To answer such relevant questions and understand populism
in terms of ideas, political outcomes, and social dynamics,
academia needs to engage with institutional actors, civil society
organizations, and policy makers. By bringing together academics,
members of European institutions and agencies, and leaders of civil
society organizations, this edited volume bridges the gap between
research and practice. It explores how populism impacted on
European institutions and civil society and investigates their
reactions and strategies to overcome the challenges posed by
populists. This collection is organized into three main sections,
i.e., general European governance; European Parliament and
Commission; European organized civil society. Overall, the volume
unveils how the populist threat was perceived within the EU
institutions and NGOs and discusses the strategies they devised to
react and how these were implemented in institutional and public
communication.
