This book assesses what corruption means for populists, and the
anti-corruption rhetoric of populist actors. The author uses the
case study of Czech politicians to show how populist politicians
exploit the notion of corruption in their communication. Using many
examples of different political statements (by presidents, party
leaders, MPs, etc.), the populist discourse of corruption is
discussed in the context of other discourses presented in Czech
politics. The author analyses both Czech (not only populist)
political party election manifestos and the political communication
on social media from Czech anti-establishment and populist
political parties (ANO, Freedom and Direct Democracy, and Pirates).
Based on an extensive conceptual framework the book also focuses on
whether mainstream parties respond to the success of populists by
adopting populist anti-corruption rhetoric themselves and the
similarities and differences between the approaches they adopt.
Understanding the processes of more than 30 years of Czech
post-communist politics, and offering a theoretical and
methodological framework applicable to research conducted in other
contexts, this book will appeal to scholars of political science,
sociology and economics.
