Ever wondered why populism is sweeping across Western democracies? In our very first episode, we dive into Sheri Berman's influential paper, "The Causes of Populism in the West," unpacking the critical factors behind the surge of populist politics in the United States, Europe, and beyond.
We break down complex academic insights into lively, easy-to-follow discussions, exploring economic insecurities, cultural anxieties, and institutional breakdowns. Is it the economy that's fueling populist movements, or are deeper cultural issues at play? How have political elites and institutions failed citizens, paving the way for populist leaders?
Join us as we unravel these questions and more, blending rigorous research with real-world implications. We highly recommend reading Sheri Berman’s insightful paper for a deeper understanding:
📖 Citation: Berman, Sheri. 2021. "The Causes of Populism in the West." Annual Review of Political Science 24:71–88. [https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-polisci-041719-102503]
