This is the first book to offer a genuine cross-regional perspective on populism and its impact on democracy. By analyzing current experiences of populism in Europe and the Americas, this edited volume convincingly demonstrates that populism can be both a threat and a corrective to democracy. The contributors also demonstrate the interesting similarities between right-wing and left-wing populism: both types of populism are prone to defend a political model that is not against democracy per se, but rather at odds with liberal democracy. Populism in Europe and the Americas offers new insights into the current state of democracy from both a theoretical and an empirical point of view. 517 3 $aPopulism in Europe & the Americas 606 $aPopulism$zEurope$vCase studies 606 $aDemocracy$zEurope 606 $aPopulism$zAmerica$vCase studies 606 $aDemocracy$zAmerica 615 0$aPopulism 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aPopulism 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a320.56/62094 702 $aMudde$b Cas 702 $aRovira Kaltwasser$b Cristo?bal 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462309903321 996 $aPopulism in Europe and the Americas$92476181 997 $aUNINA
