Populism is a category which is often abused in current public discourse. It is an issue that is usually looked at from the perspective of political science or cultural studies, while historians have rarely confronted it. Nonetheless, the study of historical cases of populism is a necessary preliminary task for an in-depth examination of the topic. This book opens up a channel of dialogue among political scientists, sociologists, philosophers and historians in order to launch a debate on the declination of the populist phenomenon. The essays here consist of the reflections of various scholars on several national cases through a survey conduced on a large temporal and spatial horizon, from the experiences developed in Eastern Europe at the end of the nineteenth century to the more recent events of Ukraine's revolution at the end of the twentieth; and from the first case of a populist party in the US to the examples of the Italian political scenario in the 1980s, in order to identify which historical perspective would be the most suitable for understanding populism and if populism can actually be considered a category that fits into the historical investigation of these phenomena.

Offering a fresh take on the origins of electoral populism, this title provides an in-depth look at how the decisions that defined the political and economic geography of the American West during the late 19th century contributed to the rise of one of the most significant third-party movements in American political history. Combining traditional forms of historical inquiry with network analysis and statistics, Adam Slez contributes to our understanding of political action by explicitly linking the evolution of the political field to the transformation of physical space through concerted action on the part of elites.

« Souvent confondu avec la démagogie, le populisme n'a pas bonne presse. De fait, si le mot renvoie à l'origine à un mouvement politico-social russe de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, qui s'était donné pour objectif de soulever la paysannerie contre le pouvoir tsariste, il désigne aujourd'hui, dans le débat, les discours et les doctrines qui en appellent au "peuple" comme s'il était un corps politique indifférencié et unifié. Le populiste ? Celui qui flatte les masses dans ses aspirations les moins louables. Or, les crises multiples que traversent nos démocraties libérales (mondialisation, crises économiques, crises migratoires, crise de la représentation) réactivent un spectre qu'on a cru disparu avec les idéologies du XXe siècle. Le populisme est-il une dérive inévitable de nos démocraties ? N'est-il pas aussi un phénomène à la charnière entre un monde qui naît et un monde qui meurt ? Et si le populisme était l'un des symptômes d'une maladie politique bien réelle, mais à laquelle il apporte les mauvais remèdes ? Pascal Perrineau tente de circonscrire un concept flou, fait le point sur les études les plus récentes et montre quelles sont les formes nouvelles du populisme à l'heure des réseaux sociaux et des fake news. » --
