Abstract

MACHETE, Rui Chancerelle de. The growth of populism in the US and Europe since the beginning of the 21st century. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2018, n.59, pp.85-96. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2018.59a07.

The article reviews the origins of populism and its presence in North-American and European politics. It highlights that, while no novelty, the explosion of populism in the United States and in the European Union, in the late 20th century and particularly from the 21st century, due to the number of political systems in which it prevails and its impact on the way they work, is a phenomenon of extreme relevance.

Keywords : Populism; democracy; United States; European Union.
