The Bilderberg group ? and/or the Illuminati ? are instating a totalitarian New World Order. Angela Merkel is the secret daughter of Adolf Hitler, Barack Obama was illegitimate, and George W. Bush was in on the 9/11 attacks. Also, the Holocaust is a hoax, members of Pussy Riot are agents of the West, and the European Union is resurrecting the Roman Empire, this time as a communist super-state. These are some of the tales that are told by populist political actors across Europe, were raised during the Brexit debate in the UK, and have been promoted by presidents of both the US and Russia. Rapid rise of populist political parties around Europe and across the Atlantic in the early new millennium coincided with the simultaneous increased spread of conspiracy theories. This book entangles the two tropes and maps how right-wing populists apply conspiracy theories to advance their politics and support for their parties. 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aEurope?Politics and government 606 $aUnited States?Politics and government 606 $aRussia?Politics and government 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aPopular Science in Political Science and International Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q41000 606 $aDemocracy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911050 606 $aEuropean Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911130 606 $aUS Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911180 606 $aRussian and Post-Soviet Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911170 606 $aPolitical Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aEurope?Politics and government. 615 0$aUnited States?Politics and government. 615 0$aRussia?Politics and government. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 14$aPopular Science in Political Science and International Relations. 615 24$aDemocracy. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aUS Politics. 615 24$aRussian and Post-Soviet Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 676 $a320.5662 700 $aBergmann$b Eirikur$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0892014 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300486903321 996 $aConspiracy & Populism$91992167 997 $aUNINA
