URL : http:// journals.openedition.org/tp/820 Teoria politica On Trumpism, or the End of American Exceptionalism Nadia Urbinati* Abstract This papers uses Trumpism to illustrate populism in power. It analyses it in its rhetorical style; in its propaganda, tropes, and ideology; and finally in its aims and achievements. It shows how the representative construction of the people is rhetorical and is independent of social classes and traditional ideologies. The paper argues that populist democracy is the name of a new form of representative government that is based on two phenomena: a direct relation between the leader and those in society whom the leader defines as the «right» or «good» people; and the superlative authority of the audience. Its immediate targets are the «obstacles» to the development of those phenomena: intermediary opinion-making bodies, such as parties; established media; and institutionalized systems for monitoring and controlling political power. Populist leaders compete with other political actors with regard to the representation of the people and use electoral victory in order to prove that «the people» they represent is the «right» people and deserves to rule for its own good.

  • Populists in Power Around the World | Institute for Global Change
    Populists in Power Around the World JORDAN KYLE RENEWING LIMOR GULTCHIN THE CENTRE Contents Executive Summary 3 Introduction 5 The Trouble With Defining opulismP 9 Two Essential Features of Populism 12 Types of Populism 21 Cases of Populism in Power 26 Populism Trends Around the World 32 Conclusion 44 Appendix: Methodology 45 Downloaded from http://institute.global/insight/ renewing-centre/populists-power-around-world on November 7 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXE CUTIVE SUMMARY Populism is dramatically shifting the global political landscape. This report defines populism and identifies its global prevalence by introducing a global database “Populists in Power: 1990–2018”. Only with a clear and systematic understanding of the phenomenon of populism can political leaders begin to offer meaningful and credible alternatives. This report sets out to define populism from a global perspective and identify some of its key trends since 1990. Populism contains two primary claims: • A country’s ‘true people’ are locked into conflict with outsiders, including establishment elites. • Nothing should constrain the will of the true people. Although populism always shares these two essential claims, it can take on widely varying forms across contexts. This report identifies three types of populism, distinguished by how populist leaders frame the conflict between the ‘true people’ and outsiders: • Cultural populism claims that the true people are the native members of the nation-state, and outsiders can include immigrants, criminals, ethnic and religious minorities, and cosmopolitan elites. Cultural populism tends to emphasise 3 religious traditionalism, law and order, sovereignty, and painting migrants as enemies. • Socio-economic populism claims that the true people are honest, hard-working members of the working class, and outsiders can include big business, capital owners and actors perceived as propping up an international capitalist system.

  • Why Populism?1 Rogers Brubaker
    Brubaker, Why Populism? Page 1 of 51 Why Populism?1 Rogers Brubaker Published online in Theory and Society, October 26, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11186-017-9301-7 Abstract It is a commonplace to observe that we have been living through an extraordinary pan-European and trans-Atlantic populist moment. But do the heterogeneous phenomena lumped under the rubric “populist” in fact belong together? Or is “populism” just a journalistic cliché and political epithet? In the first part of the paper, I defend the use of “populism” as an analytic category and the characterization of the last few years as a “populist moment,” and I propose an account of populism as a discursive and stylistic repertoire. In the second part, I specify the structural trends and the conjunctural convergence of a series of crises that jointly explain the clustering in space and time that constitutes the populist moment. The question in my title is thus twofold: it is a question about populism as a term or concept and a question about populism as a phenomenon in the world. The paper addresses both the conceptual and the explanatory question, limiting the scope of the explanatory argument to the pan-European and trans-Atlantic populist conjuncture of the last few years. 1 Acknowledgments. This paper was conceived and written at the Wissenschaftskolleg of Berlin, where I enjoyed the great privilege of a residential fellowship and benefited from many collegial discussions. Earlier versions were presented at the Wissenschaftskolleg itself, at the Institute of History of Humboldt University in Berlin, and at the conference on “Populism and Citizenship” organized by the Center for Citizenship, Social Pluralism and Religious Diversity in Potsdam; I thank participants in these events for their comments.

  • What Is Penal Populism?
    The Power of Penal Populism: Public Influences on Penal and Sentencing Policy from 1999 to 2008 By Tess Bartlett A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Criminology View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington School of Social and Cultural Studies Victoria University of Wellington June 2009 Abstract This thesis explains the rise and power of penal populism in contemporary New Zealand society. It argues that the rise of penal populism can be attributed to social, economic and political changes that have taken place in New Zealand since the post­war years. These changes undermined the prevailing penal­welfare logic that had dominated policymaking in this area since 1945. It examines the way in which ‘the public’ became more involved in the administration of penal policy from 1999 to 2008. The credibility given to a law and order referendum in 1999, which drew attention to crime victims and ‘tough on crime’ discourse, exemplified their new role. In its aftermath, greater influence was given to the public and groups speaking on its behalf. The referendum also influenced political discourse in New Zealand, with politicians increasingly using ‘tough on crime’ policies in election campaigns as it was believed that this was what ‘the public’ wanted when it came to criminal justice issues. As part of these developments, the thesis examines the rise of the Sensible Sentencing Trust, a unique law and order pressure group that advocates for victims’ rights and the harsh treatment of offenders.

Trump’s presidency and Brexit happened to the world in a flash and that flash has refused to wane. The reality of these two major socio-political upheavals has rattled pundits and since posed the question of how the events came to be. This study addresses the tangential role played by populism, which by its amorphousness and lack of any particular ideological depth readily lends itself to the services of various forms of socio-political ends. Therefore, this paper argues that the capacity of populism, as an ambivalent and radical agent of mass movements, to effectively invade the political issues space and sustain or alter the course of sociopolitical action is pivotal to the strategies that energized Brexit and Trumpism, and eventually gave them unlikely victories. Digging into the depths of this agency unearths its strategic communications powers and also establishes its salience to contemporary political ideology and rhetoric.

  • Penal Populism
    PENAL POPULISM Following the lead of the USA, prison rates in many Western countries have soared while crime rates have been declining. Governments have developed penal policies in line with the sentiments and aspirations of the general public rather than their own bureaucratic organizations. This penal populism has led to much stronger relationships between politi- cians and those who claim to speak for the public – such as anti-crime social movements, talk-back radio hosts, and victims’ rights lobbyists. This book argues that governments have increasingly allowed penal populism to impact on policy development and that there has been less reliance on the expertise of civil servants and academics. This fascinating book shows that the roots of penal populism lie in the collapse of trust in the modern institutions of government, the decline of deference and the growth of ontological insecurity, along with new media technologies helping to spread it. It has had most influence in the development of policy on sex offenders, youth crime, persistent criminals and ‘incivilities’, and anti-social behaviour. Nonetheless, it is by no means an inevitable phenomenon in modern penal systems – there are societies with strong central bureaucracies which have blocked it. There are also limits to penal populism – the public do not have an insatiable appetite for punishment – and there has been resistance to it from judges, lawyers, academics and the restorative justice movement. The book is a fascinating exposé of current crime policy development and poses important questions for the future. It will be essential reading for students, researchers and professionals working in criminology and crime policy.

We usually know what’s liberalism, socialism or feminism and we are able to identify who belongs to their ideological communities. However, when it comes to populism, confusion arises to pin down the concept. Neither scholarly consensus exist for the definition of populism, nor there is a common agreement on the ideological ingredients derived from the populist perspective.

  • The Rise of New-Populism in Europe and Asia Florian Hartleb
    The Rise of New-Populism in Europe and Asia Florian Hartleb I. Introduction The wave of modern populism has dramatically shaken the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) during the last few years. The year 2016 was an annus horribilis and heralded a new reality of post-truth politics. It included Brexit, the refugee crisis, the fear of Islamist terrorism with numerous and continuing attacks, the rise of right-wing populist parties and, more generally, authoritarian develop- ments on a global scale. After the dramatic accumulation of warning signals for liberal democracies and the EU as a political system sui generis, two scenarios have been discussed: Has “2016” become the zenith of the populist wave with the Dutch and French elections in 2017 as a reality check (Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders could not reach the unrealistic goal of becoming President or Prime Minister of their country) or is it just the start for populism as a central political force in European politics? On the other hand, for the first time in German post-war history, a radical right-wing populist party entered the national parliament when the Alternative für Deutschland (AFD) became the third largest party in the Bundestag. In Austria, the radical-right wing Freedom Party represents the government as a junior partner. In Poland and Hungary, the conservative regimes have enforced measures that restrict the freedom of media and justice. In general, populism is not a phenomenon on the margin and in opposition, it has entered the mainstream. There is thus a need for deeper reflection about the status quo of (representative) democracies and a deeper understanding about the political and societal changes which have led to the present state of affairs.
