Populist Political Communication across Europe: Contexts and Contents

The volume offers an insight into populist political communication in Bosnia and Hercegovina, Bulgaria, France, Israel, Poland, and Romania. The book contributes to answering questions regarding the relations between populist actors, media, and citizens. The publication captures the multi-dimensional nature of populism across Europe.

While most of the scholarship on populism and populist political communication is focused on Western European countries with a long tradition of populist parties' appearance on the political scene (such as Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, or Sweden), this volume offers an insight into populist political communication in countries less frequently covered in the English-language literature, namely Bosnia and Hercegovina, Bulgaria, France, Israel, Poland, and Romania. With the main focus on Eastern and Southern Europe, this book contributes to answering key questions regarding the relations between populist actors, media, and citizens. The publication represents an interdisciplinary approach to the populist political communication. The co-existence of different research methods and tools in that book allows us to capture the multi-dimensional nature of populism.
