Produktbeschreibung
The Populism Interviews features interviews with many of the leading experts on this most controversial of issues.

Populism is a widely debated topic, and it generates interest across the globe. As a result, a burgeoning literature deals with many aspects of populism and its links to pressing issues such as media freedom, minority rights and separation of powers. To make sense of such a complex subject, this book presents interviews with some of the leading experts on populism at the international level. Through a dialogue with important figures, this book offers the possibility to make sense of a global phenomenon in a complete and accessible way. The first part presents different theories on what populism is and is not, highlighting the differences but also the points of contact between different approaches. The second part offers an overview of the evolution of populism through history and across continents, detailing its causes and consequences. The third part deals with issues and topics connected to populism, such as environmentalism, welfare, religion, social movements and the media. Bridging theoretical approaches and empirical studies, while considering cases across space and over time, this book offers an insightful and accessible guide to the study of populism.

This volume will be of interest to all scholars, students and researchers of populism.

Rezensionen
'The Populism Interviews hits the sweet spot of academic knowledge presented in an easily accessible non-academic format. A highly original collection of interviews with a broad group of established and emerging populism scholars, which is both fun to read and highly informative. Enjoy!'

Cas Mudde, author of The Far Right Today

'Research on Populism has rarely addressed populism from the scholars' of the field perspective and, conversely, scholars on populism from different perspectives have rarely gathered to discuss the topic from different but interrelated angles. With its systematic cross-country and cross-disciplines interviewing, this volume constitutes a very valuable exception. Analytically innovative-for its articulation into definitions, causes, consequences and critical junctures-and empirically fascinating it suggests a future path for future research on populism.'

Emanuela Caiani, Associate Professor in Political Science at Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, Italy

'Luca Manucci's interviews provide something desperately needed in the conversation about populism: direct answers to clear questions. Whether you are approaching this topic for the first time or are part of the conversation yourself, this volume does a masterful job of introducing the major debates about populism from a cross national, generational, and disciplinary perspective. A great read and enormously informative.'

David Art, Professor of Political Science at Tufts University, USA
