The politics of anti-populism
Lewis Bassett pages 73-80
Abstract
Determining whether a rhetorically populist movement might be considered illiberal requires empirical analysis beyond an account of its rhetoric. There are rational-strategic reasons to adopt a populist strategy, namely that a populist frame can allow actors to press for disruptive change, including progressive change. Dismissing populism out of hand can therefore be seen as a conservative reflex.
