WiSe 17/18: Populism and transnational processes of change: a response to Europeanization and Globalization?

Juan Roch González

Comments

There seems to be a consensus among scholars on the basic properties of the populist phenomenon: in short, populism can be defined as a semiotic ensemble - treated alternatively as a discourse, a thin ideology or a style - that represents and constitutes an antagonism between the people and the elites and the emergence of a popular will. It can also be drawn from the cross-national research on populism that it deploys itself through specific practices of political actors and alleged recipients of the populist appeal (the people, the elites, different sectors of society). Such interactions and practices take place in particular socio-economic contexts and are enacted by specific agents; This seminar aims at going deeper into the transnational dimension of populism and the set of social and political practices it involves. For this purpose, the clarification and development of three concepts is crucial for this course: Europeanization, Globalization and Populism. At the end of the seminar students are expected to authoritatively respond to the following questions: How can the concept of populism travel across different party systems in the world and how can it be adapted and readapted to specific contexts? How transnational processes such as Europeanization or Globalization are affecting the emergence of populist formations? How these new and allegedly populist agents are reflecting the transnational dimension in their discourses? close
