Populism, Representation, and the People

Abstract

Populism is often described as both a symptom and a driver of democratic crisis. This panel revisits that familiar dichotomy by asking whether populist mobilizations might also generate innovations. Rather than rehearsing the distinction between “good” and “bad” populism, it invites papers that examine how populist movements, rhetoric, or leadership styles reshape democratic participation, transparency, and civic engagement.
