A landmark work in political theory, Populism presents a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of one of the most misunderstood and contested concepts in modern politics. Margaret Canovan maps the full spectrum of populist movements — from agrarian revolts in 19th-century America and Russia to 20th-century political parties across Europe and Latin America — arguing that populism is not a single ideology but a complex family of related phenomena. With scholarly precision, she identifies seven distinct types of populism and illustrates how each operates within its own social and historical context. Written with clarity and analytical depth, the work remains an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand the enduring tension between elite governance and popular democracy.
