| Summary: | Despite the enormous growth of academic
interest during the past years, there is still
significantly more known about the consequences
than the causes of populism. This
issue can be addressed by analyzing not only
the historical developments of populism itself,
but also the relationship between two
core cornerstones of it’s ideology: people
and elite. Focussing the evolutionary changes
of this antagonism unveils that populism arises
due to a complex set of structural factors
which reshaped the social framework for politicians
and their voters. It’s therefore very
likely that populism, either as a corrective or
as a threat to liberal democracy, will continue
to be relevant within European politics. |
