Team Populism announces version 2 of the Global Populism Database
The Global Populism Database codes speeches given by 271 Presidents and Prime Ministers to measure how populist they are. This version adds eight new countries, mostly in South and East Asia, and extends coverage for several countries to the years 2000-2021. It also includes the full text of all speeches coded.
OPUS | Young Scholars Initiative on Populism
OPUS has elected new leadership: Charlie Meier, Leipzig University; Yujin Julia Jung, University of Missouri; Jeongho Choi, University of Iowa.
We are thrilled to announce the OPUS Junior Scholars Workshop for the Fall of 2024. This workshop aims to bring together early-career researchers in the field of populism, providing a platform for presenting research, engaging in academic discussions, and receiving feedback from peers and senior scholars.
Team Populism now has trainings for coding speeches for populist discourse.
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.
