内容简介
······
Populism is a central concept in the current media debates about politics and elections. However, like most political buzzwords, the term often floats from one meaning to another, and both social scientists and journalists use it to denote diverse phenomena. What is populism really? Who are the populist leaders? And what is the relationship between populism and democracy? This book answers these questions in a simple and persuasive way, offering a swift guide to populism in theory and practice.
Cas Mudde and Cristóbal Rovera Kaltwasser present populism as an ideology that divides society into two antagonistic camps, the "pure people" versus the "corrupt elite," and that privileges the general will of the people above all else. They illustrate the practical power of this ideology through a survey of representative populist movements of the modern era: European right-wing parties, left-wing presidents in Latin America, and the Tea Party movement in the United States. The authors delve into the ambivalent personalities of charismatic populist leaders such as Juan Domingo Péron, H. Ross Perot, Jean-Marie le Pen, Silvio Berlusconi, and Hugo Chávez. If the strong male leader embodies the mainstream form of populism, many resolute women, such as Eva Péron, Pauline Hanson, and Sarah Palin, have also succeeded in building a populist status, often by exploiting gendered notions of society.
Although populism is ultimately part of democracy, populist movements constitute an increasing challenge to democratic politics. Comparing political trends across different countries, this compelling book debates what the long-term consequences of this challenge could be, as it turns the spotlight on the bewildering effect of populism on today's political and social life.

评论 ······
populism定义为一种thin-centered ideology，认为是一种不自由的民主（对照what is populism中不认同这种说法）
只读了第五章“民粹与民主”，民粹并不反对民主，它只是与自由民主相悖。把民粹主义在民主化（自由化、民主转型、民主深化）和非民主化（民主侵蚀、民主崩溃、镇压）进程的六个不同阶段的影响写的挺清楚，还分析了三个干预变量：民粹主义的政治力量、民粹主义行动者所处的政治体系类型以及国际环境。
7/10.
Mudde将民粹主义看作是分裂“纯粹的人民”和“腐败的精英”的某种意识形态，它以道德为标准去争夺民意的代表权，并且总附着于其他意识形态之上（如社会主义、民族主义等）。在此定义下提出的供求兼顾的分析路径，为之后的实证研究提供了清晰的理论框架。
