(Populist) discourse: an alternative approach 4. Populist (discourse): the toolkit Conclusion: the democratic promise of populism and its discontentsReviewsThe Populist ‘Scandal’ is a thoughtful and timely engagement with the phenomenon of populism. Yannis Stavrakakis dispels widespread misconceptions about populism and charts new directions for thinking about populism's relationship to democracy. None of the many books on populism written over the last decade exhibit the historical sensibility, empirical sensitivity, and analytical sharpness on display in The Populist ‘Scandal.’ A must read for scholars and the wider public as well. John P. McCormick, University of Chicago The Populist 'Scandal' provides a bracing assessment of populism studies, offering an accessible and original account of developments in this field since populism first burst onto the political scene. As one of the leading scholars of the Essex School, Stavrakakis nails discourse theory firmly onto the map of contemporary populism research. He finally delivers the first comprehensive and authoritative book-length treatment of its kind since Laclau's On Populist Reason, bound to become a standard scholarly reference for years to come. Jason Glynos, University of Essex Author InformationYannis Stavrakakis studied political science in Athens (Panteion) and Essex. He has worked at the universities of Essex and Nottingham before taking up a position at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2007, where he currently directs the Postgraduate Programme in Political Theory and the Laboratory for the Study of Democracy. His research focuses primarily on contemporary political theory (with emphasis on psychoanalytic and post-structuralist approaches) and on the analysis of ideology and discourse in late modern societies (with emphasis on populism and anti-populism).
