Description

Populism has become a dominant discourse in contemporary politics, yet it remains poorly understood by both media and policymakers. This Macmillan volume challenges conventional narratives that equate populism solely with radical right movements, offering instead a nuanced analysis of how populism functions as an intrinsic and paradoxical element within democratic systems. The book examines the fundamental tension between democracy's founding principle of government by the people and the reality of elite-dominated governance constrained by liberal constitutionalism. By reframing populism as neither inherently progressive nor reactionary, but rather as a constitutive force that emerges when popular will conflicts with institutional limitations, this work provides essential reading for understanding contemporary political upheaval and the future of democratic governance across diverse national contexts.

Key Features

Examines populism as an ambiguous yet constitutive component of democratic systems rather than a monolithic political phenomenon.

Challenges the mainstream media tendency to equate populism exclusively with radical right-wing leadership and parties.

Explores the inherent contradiction between democracy's ideological commitment to government of and by the people and actual elite-driven institutional practices.

Analyses how liberal constitutionalism constrains popular will and shapes contemporary political challenges.

Published by Palgrave Macmillan, a leading academic publisher specialising in politics and social sciences research.

Provides essential context for understanding protest movements and parties across multiple national and regional contexts.
