Description
What Is Populism? by Jan-Werner Müller explores the rise of populists across the globe and their impact on democracy. At its core, populism is a rejection of pluralism, with those in power claiming to represent the people's true interests.
Müller argues that populists can govern based on their claim to exclusive moral representation of the people, leading to authoritarian states that exclude those not considered part of the 'proper' group. This book proposes concrete strategies for liberal democrats to deal with populists and counter their claims.
Grounded in history and drawing on examples from Latin America, Europe, and the United States, What Is Populism? defines the characteristics of populism and its deeper causes, shedding light on the electoral successes of populist movements in our time.
