Political Populism: A Handbook

Prof. Reinhard C. Heinisch; Prof. Dr. Christina Holtz-Bacha; Dr. Oscar Mazzoleni

doi:10.5771/9783845271491

Summary

Allenthalben in Europa sehen wir Wahlerfolge populistischer Parteien und Akteure, die die Wählerschaft gegen vermeintliche Eliten mobilisieren. Jüngstes Beispiel dieser politischen Entwicklung ist die Wahlkampagne für den Brexit in Großbritannien, die verdeutlichte, dass Populisten einen erheblichen Einfluss auf politische Entscheidungen haben können. Auch jenseits von Europa verzeichnen populistische Parteien Wahlerfolge; gerade in den Vereinigten Staaten und in Lateinamerika ist dieses Phänomen schon lange bekannt.

Das neue Handbook on Political Populism bietet eine umfangreiche theoretische wie empirische Einführung in die populistische Politik in Europa, in Nord- und in Südamerika und darüber hinaus. Das Hauptaugenmerk des Werkes liegt auf der Erklärung des Phänomens „Populismus“ als Folge einer Legitimationskrise des repräsentativen Systems. Ein besonderes Ziel des Handbuchs ist es, die Kontroversen und Grenzen in der derzeitigen wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung aufzuzeigen.
