Abstract

Populism is often used as an attempt to gain power and exists (in different levels and with diverse expressions) in all political systems. However, multidimensional crises (economic, health, energy etc.) are opportunities for the growth of populist expressions (right or left), which can create false expectations, cultivate simplification over important political issues and lead to mistrust towards the established political system while increasing social divisions. This Panel aims to critically study populism in different political and social contexts in order to uncover similarities and differences in populist behaviour.
