Beskrivning
Populism has become one of the most overused terms in political discourse today. It can embrace authoritarian and nativist right-wing politicians but also those on the left who appeal for popular support for transformation. In its dominant usage it is seen as inimical to the values of liberal democracy. Yet others see it as part of the construction of a people-centred project that can realize true democracy.What is clear is that much of the debate around populism has been from the perspective of the global North and the voice of the South has been largely missing. This volume addresses this absence and provides a Latin American perspective to the global study of populism.It argues that Latin America in its rich and early experience of populism is a valuable laboratory to further our understanding and to address the question of whether populism now goes beyond the dichotomy of left and right and is a new political phenomenon.The book presents a series of case studies with cross-cutting overview chapters that highlight the lessons to be learned from new research. Each chapter is set within a tight conceptual framework in order to better understand contemporary Latin American politics "after the pink tide" and to enrich the international debate on populism from a Latin American perspective.

In a time where work on populism has become increasingly Euro- and US-centric, this excellent volume very welcomely restores Latin America to its rightful place at the centre of the analysis of populism. With a wide range of case studies, this book refuses to settle for easy answers when it comes to populism's relationship to democracy, and as such, offers an important and nuanced counterpoint to much commentary on the phenomenon today. -- Benjamin Moffitt, Australian Catholic University An ambitious effort to identify and analyze the disparate strands of populism in Latin America, utilizing country case studies, drawing on classical and contemporary forms, distinguishing right and left tendencies, and delving into theoretical and practical experience in the region. An anthology of great interest for both students and academics. -- Ronald H. Chilcote, Professor Emeritus of Economics and Political Science, University of California, Riverside, and Managing Editor of Latin American Perspectives A timely reminder of the centrality of Latin America to theorizing populism. By foregrounding the variegated Latin American experiences, the essays challenge overly static, Eurocentric frameworks. Individually, the essays offer fascinating case studies of "actually existing" populism, while together they propose a deep and thoughtful lens to study complex political processes. An outstanding collection of essays that provides an insightful and challenging analysis of populism. -- Mo Hume, Professor of Latin American Politics, University of Glasgow
