3. Populism in Historical-Comparative Perspective
With the election of US President Donald Trump in 2016 on an anti-establishment platform and passage of the Brexit referendum in 2016 committing the UK to leave the European Union, it is clear that populism—already a transformative political movement in Latin America and Eastern Europe—had reached new levels of political impact—while broadening its geographical scope.
Populism is one of the most debated political phenomena of our times. Nevertheless, what seems novel to modern observers actually has a long historical pedigree. One of its first modern incarnations was the People’s Party in the United States, formed by farmers in the Midwest and South to break up railroad and banking monopolies that they believed threatened their livelihoods. In like manner, but in very different circumstances, agrarian parties emerged in interwar Europe to appeal to the newly enfranchised peasant voters by promoting their rural interests. These agrarian parties and movements were later incorporated into nationalist or fascist movements in the 1930s. Populism also took root in twentieth century Latin America, as an ideological tool of economic development and struggle against US hegemony. What is clear is that populism tends to accompany periods of political transition and domestic unrest; it is at its bottom reactionary, promising to champion “the people” against “the establishment.”
