Populism and Time cover

This book addresses the untapped theoretical encounter between populism and time. It argues that this enquiry can augment analyses of the history, contemporary political practice and theory of populism, by identifying and critically engaging with its appearances, disappearances, and its failure to emerge within the broad scope of global politics. The book incorporates populism's relationship with democracy, modernity, subjectivity, communication, technology and crisis to draw temporal comparisons between populism, and rival political practices and logics.

Drawing on cutting-edge political theory as well as analysing important empirical cases, this thoughtful collection skilfully sheds light on populism's relationship to time and temporality. In doing so, it does something remarkable: it says something new and important about populism! Highly recommended, timely and worthy of your time. -- Benjamin Moffitt, Australian Catholic University
Populism and Time offers a groundbreaking exploration of populism through the lens of time, challenging traditional spatial and ideological frameworks. [...] It is an essential resource for scholars, redefining populism as a diachronic force shaping contemporary politics. -- Bulent Kenes, ECPS * European Centre for Populism Studies *
