Fra introduktionen:
“While there are many notions of populism, our understanding of the term is often called minimalist or ideational. As explained by Rovira Kaltwasser (2018), this view consists of two main parts. First, it sees society as divided between “the pure people” and “the corrupt elite” and makes a moral distinction, portraying the people as honest and virtuous, and the elite as deceitful. Second, it also holds that politics should fully reflect the will of the people, making popular sovereignty the ultimate authority. This leads to tension with liberal democracy, which relies on independent institutions and checks on power. Populists often view these institutions as protecting elite interests and seek to weaken or control them. This conceptualization of populism characterizes it as a “thin-centered ideology” (Mudde, 2004), meaning it can be combined with more comprehensive ideologies, such as nationalism, socialism, or some form of conservativism. ”
