Populisté, protestní strany, outsideři? Několik poznámek ke konceptualizaci populistických politických stran
Populists, protest parties, outsiders? A few notes to the conceptualisation of populist political parties

Summary/Abstract: Populists, anti-establishment parties, outsiders? Some comments on conceptualization of populist political parties. The rise and electoral success of populist political parties has been reflected in the growing number of academic studies devoted to populism and populist political parties. However, there is still lack of widely-accepted definition of the term populism and political parties using the populist appeal are usually labelled as anti-establishment political parties, protest parties or outsiders. Moreover, populism and demagogy are often incorrectly used interchangeably. By providing an overview of relevant approaches to research on populism and populist political parties, the authors focus on so-called analytical core of populism which serves as a starting point for distinguishing between two basic types of populist political parties: identitary and partially populist parties. The main difference between the two types of parties lies in the relevance of the ideology in the profile of a populist party.
