Populism - Taggart, Paul

As New; In this lively and engaging book, Taggart surveys the field and concludes that populism has suffered from being considered usually in relation to particular contexts and has therefore become a rather fractured and elusive concept in general terms. To remedy this, the author introduces several themes which illuminate populism across different historical and contemporary cases. He provides a new definition of populism, a survey of other definitions and perspectives, and a guide to populist politics around the world. The second part of the book focuses on the problems of populism and how it relates to democracy, particularly to representative politics.
