Rezensionen

"Populism is the big topic in political science now. The study of the latest re-emergence of populist parties and leaders has managed to attract some of the most talented young scholars. In this rigorously researched book Petar Stankov offers an original theory of populist cycles, focusing on identity, economy and societal fairness. In addition, he offers empirical explanations of those cycles and valuable insights into the consequences of populist governance." - Ivan Krastev, Centre for Liberal Strategies, Sofia, Bulgaria, and Institute for Human Sciences, Vienna, Austria.

"Petar Stankov's The Political Economy of Populism offers a clear and concise interpretation of how and why populist

leaders and parties have emerged across many societies in recent decades. The book examines the consequences of the rise of populism, describing policies and results that typically follow populist ascendancies. Finally, the book explores self-correction mechanisms in mature democracies. Covering a wide range of cases and methods of analysis, the lucid prose and clear explanations will make this a "must read" for every student of our current political moment." - Michael Kevane, Department of Economics, Santa Clara University, USA.

"Despite the growing academic interest in populism, there is not much research about its relationship with the economy. This book addresses this research gap by offering a detailed analysis of the economic consequences of populism as well as a novel theory of populist cycles. This is a must-read for all those who want to understand the economic underpinnings of populism." - Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser, School of Political Science, Diego Portales University, Santiago, Chile.
