The editorial collective of the open access journal, disClosure: A Journal of Social Theory, calls for submissions that explore theories of
populism for an issue to be published summer 2020. The recent uptick in
populism signals political, economic and/or social unrest across the globe,
yet, populism remains a phenomenon that is difficult to define. Populism has
been conceptualized as an ideology (Mudde 2004), a discourse (Laclau 2005), a
style (Moffit 2016, De la Torre 2010), and a political strategy (Weyland 2001).
Some scholars maintain that populism’s development is inherent to
liberal democracy (Canvovan 1999), while others maintain that it arises as a
critique of neoliberalism (Pia-Lara 2018, Fraser 2018). Given the myriad of
ways populism has been theorized, it is not surprising that populism remains a
difficult concept to identify. In the spirit of this ambiguity, we seek to
discuss theories of populism that challenge or extend these existing ideas.
We invite work that addresses, exceeds, or cuts across topics that
include but are not limited to:
- Definitions and/or conceptualizations of populism
- Global populism(s)
- Populism and capitalism
- Populism and fascism
- Populism and democracy
- Populism in theory
- Populism in practice
- Populism and mass society
- Populism and the people
- Left- and right-wing populisms
- Populism in advanced industrial societies
- Comparative populisms
- Populist style
- Populist discourse
