Global Populisms
Autor Carlos de la Torre, Treethep Srisa-ngaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 sep 2021
Global Populisms invites students and the general public to move beyond simplistic conceptualizations of populism as an external virus and as an irrational threat to democracy, or, alternatively, as the path to return power to the people. The book differentiates populists’ correct critiques to inequalities, the loss of national sovereignty, and unresponsive politicians from its solutions. In the name of giving power to the people, populists in power from Hugo Chávez to Donald Trump, Narendra Modi, and Viktor Orbán entered in war with the media, made rivals into existential enemies, and attempted to concentrate power in the hands of the president.
Written in a clear and accessible style, this interdisciplinary volume will appeal to undergraduate students as well as to non-academic audiences with an interest in political science, sociology, history, and communication studies.

Recenzii
'Carlos de la Torre has long been a voice of reason in the often-heated scholarly debates over the meaning of populism and its political effects. In this comprehensive introduction to the study of populist politics, de la Torre explains the different forms that populism can take around the world, and he sheds new light on the democratic shortcomings that give rise to populist leaders and movements. He also offers a balanced and penetrating assessment of populism’s limitations as a corrective to these shortcomings. Remarkable in its breadth, this book is an ideal foundation for the study of populism in its widely varying forms.'
Kenneth M. Roberts, Richard J. Schwartz Professor of Government, Cornell University, USA
'Populism is a global phenomenon that mirrors citizens' perception of the way the democratic system works. It registers a loss of faith in political parties and politicians and interrogates scholars and citizens on the value and worth of democracy. Today, studying populism is thus studying the transformations of democracy in the age of neoliberalism. This book is a precious research offering us a rich and informative overview of populism in all the continents and various socio-economic contexts.'
Nadia Urbinati, Kyriakos Tsakopoulos Professor of Political Theory, Columbia University , USA
'This thorough and sophisticated textbook provides a comprehensive overview of populism in its main regional variants, its ideological ramifications, and its cultural and political causes and consequences. Anybody interested in this growing challenge to liberal democracy across the world will learn a great deal from this excellent introduction.'
