Rezensionen

"This is an original and welcome theoretical and comparative contribution. Professor Baykan's volume shows the advantages of focusing on the deeds and performative practices of populist micro politics that seek immediacy, responsiveness, and short-term effectiveness. Populism as Governmental Practice weaves together how day-to-day interactions between populist political machines and deprived constituencies are based on personalism and clientelism. The volume illustrates how populist policies in Turkey, Venezuela, Greece, India, the Philippines, Egypt, and the U.S. offer immediate material and symbolic rewards over long term solutions."

"The study of populism often centers on its role as an oppositional political force. In this book, Toygar Sinan Baykan makes important contributions to our understanding of populism in power, as a form of government practice. The book sheds new light on the distinctive features of populist governing practices, and the tools adopted by populists to administer their authority. This is a most welcome addition to scholarly debates regarding populism's political style and its implications for democratic governance."
