Популизмът в сравнителен план: Западна Европа, Централна и Източна Европа, Южна Америка
Populism in a Comparative Light: Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, and South America

Summary/Abstract: I would like to speak briefly about the rise of populism in Europe, comparing Western Europe with Central and Eastern Europe, giving attention both to political parties and ideology. I would also like to add some comparison with populism in South America. Let us start not with a definition of populism but the idea that the core ideological appeal of populism is as an alternative to consensus-oriented liberal centrism. The political evolution of Western European political parties in the second half of the 20th century was obviously towards consensus-oriented liberal centrism. It brought with it at all times the possibility or risk of attack on the system from either side. Populism is ideologically eclectic and can find an entry point either from the left or the right.
