Alongside its base populism training, Team Populism now has training on coding party manifestos for populist discourse and speeches for nationalist discourse.
Team Populism is excited to present this new volume, which examines the societal and democratic consequences of populism, including polarization, democratic erosion, and policy instability. It also evaluates strategies to mitigate these effects.
OPUS has elected new leadership:
Aysenur Deger, Syracuse University;
Stavroula Koskina, Aristotle University;
Deborah MartÃnez, Radboud University;
Pilar Veas, Diego Portales University
About Us:
Team Populism brings together renowned scholars from Europe and the Americas to study the causes and consequences of populism. We seek to answer why some populist parties, leaders or movements are more successful than others.
Our general argument is that populism is best understood as a combination of individual and contextual issues (demand side) and the availability of successful leaders (supply side)
We expand on this broad framework by studying multiple levels of analysis, and we draw on different methodological tools, including experiments, surveys, and comparative analysis. To facilitate this work, individual teams are organized around functional tasks.
