About this listen

This book is an essential work for those seeking to understand the significant growth of populism around the world and its profound implications for liberal democracies. Exploring the historical roots, distinctive characteristics, and contemporary dynamics of populism, both right-wing and left-wing, the book offers a detailed analysis of the impacts of this phenomenon on democratic institutions, the Rule of Law, and social cohesion.

The methodological approach is rigorous, examining the economic, social, and political factors that contributed to the resurgence of populism in the 21st century. The book addresses the erosion of trust in democratic institutions and the economic crises that fueled popular discontent, providing valuable insights into the conditions conducive to the rise of these movements.

Each chapter unpacks crucial aspects of populism, from its theoretical and historical definitions to its contemporary manifestations in public policies, identity politics, and foreign policies. Furthermore, the book proposes institutional and social responses to strengthen democracies against populist threats, culminating in a deep reflection on the future of democracy in a polarized world.
