SPSR - Volume 23, Issue 4 - Special Issue: Populist Mobilization Across Time and Space
Abstract:

Populism has become pervasive in political language and in the diagnosis of the malaise of contemporary politics. At the same time, more narrow definitions of populism have become shared in scholarship on the subject, nourishing more analytical approaches that put populism in historical and cross‐regional perspective. The contributions to this special issue ask some fundamental questions concerning the study of populist mobilization.
