Abstract
Research on populism has animated academic debate as populist parties and ideologies become increasingly salient globally (Human Rights Watch, 2017; 2018), and as recent events radically affect the border, security, and politics nexus. Populism differs greatly across space and time; indeed, its definition is widely debated (Gidron & Bonikowski, 2013). In this intervention, we understand populism to signify, in general terms, a mixture of ideology and discursive style that articulates the will of the “pure people” against the “elites”, or more precisely, the struggle between a reified “will of the people” and a conspiring elite (Brubaker, 2017a; Mudde, 2004; Mudde & Kaltwasser, 2012).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
