🔮 #FutureOfPopulism No.15
#Populism is a chronic condition rather than a recent phenomenon, argues Kirk Hawkins of @BYUPoliticalSci. When we recognise the historical roots of populism, we can manage this challenge to liberal democracy

What do we know about #populist #attitudes?
New systematic literature review by #HugoMarcosMarne @_HGZ_ @borah suggests three caveats:

1️⃣ Little research beyond 🇪🇺 and 🇺🇸
2️⃣ Few longitudinal and qualitative studies ⏱️🔍
3️⃣ Variety of (sub)scales in use 📐

Only a few hours left until the first @ECPR_povb panel and the discussant has just cancelled his participation in the @ECPR conference due to a personal problem. If you participate in #ecprgc22, you work on Populism - Euroscepticism and you are willing to help, please contact me

“Populism is a consistent predictor of declining support for science”, finds #MikeZapp in this big global longitudinal analysis 🌏
Great example for how to use existing data (@WVS_Survey, #GlobalPopulismDatabase etc) to study science attitudes ↔ populism: https://t.co/cx4h7sPdaR

🌟New paper & data #openaccess #PartyPolitics. Mapping party campaigns 2010-19 I show that to understand how thin ideas play into electoral gains of anti-establishment parties, we need to look beyond just populism @GSI_Muenchen @ExtremandDem @PopulismTeam https://t.co/ExbjgWzvOX

[Alexander Kustov @akoustov]

🚨What makes politicians use populist rhetoric?🚨

In our new @polcommjournal piece, @Yaoyao_dai and I argue and show that the use of populism appeals to the initially weaker and less popular candidates as a gamble to improve their slim chance of winning

I want to share my latest article in @PolStudies. "De-centring populism" means to shift the focus to the particular contexts in which a populist discourse may thrive. I develop an analytical framework to explore this contingency of populism: https://t.co/FgL355cNhJ

🌟New paper #openaccess. I map two-dimensional normalisation strategies of anti-establishment parties 2010-2019 and show how this rhetoric played into their broader electoral appeal @JournalPolitics @GSI_Muenchen @ExtremandDem @PopulismTeam https://t.co/0SX4BJ0WNk 1/🧵
