Once seen as a fringe phenomenon, populism is back. While some politicians and media outlets present it as dangerous to the U.S., Europe, and Latin America, others hail it as the fix for broken democracies. Not surprisingly, questions about populism abound. Does it really threaten democracy? Why the sudden rise in populism? And what are we talking about when we talk about "populism"?

The Global Rise of Populism argues for the need to rethink this concept. While still based on the classic divide between "the people" and "the elite," populism's reliance on new media technologies, its shifting relationship to political representation, and its increasing ubiquity have seen it transform in nuanced ways that demand explaining. Benjamin Moffitt contends that populism is not one entity, but a political style that is performed, embodied, and enacted across different political and cultural contexts. This new understanding makes sense of populism in a time when media pervades political life, a sense of crisis prevails, and populism has gone truly global.

Product description

Review

"Everybody must have heard by now that the so-called 'specter of populism' is once again haunting Europe, the US, the whole world! Obviously, something other than banal paraphrases of Marx is urgently needed to explain populism's complexity. Benjamin Moffitt provides exactly that. His innovative ideas will undoubtedly fuel academic debate for years to come."--Yannis Stavrakakis "Aristotle University of Thessaloniki"

"In the increasingly crowded field of populism studies, The Global Rise of Populism develops a fresh approach. It is a must-read for researchers and students of global populism, the media, and politics."--Carlos de la Torre "University of Kentucky"

Un excelente libro cuyo mérito es aplicar la teatralidad al populismo.

5.0 out of 5 stars which reads like sour grapes
Reviewed in the United States on 7 December 2017

Ignore the negative review above, which reads like sour grapes. This is an excellent book which gives due attention to the previous literature. The argument is quite consistent with recent syntheses by Cas Mudde and Jan-Werner Mueller and adds an important element: the role of "bad manners." I have taught this book three times to both undergrads and grads and it is a consistent class favorite.
