SoSe 17: Right-wing and left-wing populism in Europe: conceptual insights and empirical implications

Juan Roch González

Kommentar

Populism is a contested concept in political science. The literature on this topic has experienced a significant revival in the last two decades and especially since the inception of the financial crisis in 2008. However, there is a lack of consensus on the definition of populism, its explanatory power and empirical implications. This seminar focuses on the different theoretical approaches to populism and aims to capture the historical formation of populist parties from the left and right-wing of the political spectrum in the contemporary Europe. Such enterprise entails the analysis of the institutional and social contexts in which these parties emerge but also their specific political discourses and organizational structures. In the first part of the seminar, we will shed light on the main theories concerned with the concept of populism in order to build upon them a consensual definition; it also provides the participants of the seminar with an overall picture of the study of populism. The second part of the seminar deals with the opposition between right-wing and left-wing populism, the theoretical underpinnings of this distinction and the different discursive deployments. The final part is devoted to empirical studies of allegedly “populist phenomena” - parties, movements or leaders - with a critical analysis of the various contributions to the state of the research.
