Jan-Werner Müller is Professor of Politics at Princeton University. He is author of several books, most recently Contesting Democracy: Political Ideas in Twentieth Century Europe. He contributes regularly to London Review of Books, the Guardian, and the New York Review of Books.
Donald Trump, Silvio Berlusconi, Marine Le Pen, Hugo Chávez—populists are on the rise across the globe. But what exactly is populism? Should everyone who criticizes Wall Street or Washington be called a populist? What precisely is the difference between right-wing and left-wing populism? Does populism bring government closer to the people or is it a threat to democracy? Who are "the people" anyway and who can speak in their name? These questions have never been more pressing.
In this groundbreaking volume, Jan-Werner Müller argues that at populism's core is a rejection of pluralism. Populists will always claim that they and they alone represent the people and their true interests. Müller also shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, populists can govern on the basis of their claim to exclusive moral representation of the people: if populists have enough power, they will end up creating an authoritarian state that excludes all those not considered part of the proper "people." The book proposes a number of concrete strategies for how liberal democrats should best deal with populists and, in particular, how to counter their claims to speak exclusively for "the silent majority" or "the real people."
Analytical, accessible, and provocative, What Is Populism? is grounded in history and draws on examples from Latin America, Europe, and the United States to define the characteristics of populism and the deeper causes of its electoral successes in our time.

「民粹主義根植於代議製民主的代錶邏輯之中」,這是JWM在What Is Populism中試圖展開的一個觀點。JWM的貢獻當然不在於觀察到瞭這一點——這個觀察至少可以上溯到19世紀一直到20世紀初政治理論中對自由主義代議製的批評裏。當然,JWM對這個觀察做瞭符閤時代環境也符閤邏輯的細化...

評分按:在世界範圍內,民粹主義政治領袖們被紛紛選上颱,是因為人民都是烏閤之眾、需要威權統治嗎?研究民粹主義的普林斯頓大學政治學教授揚-威爾納·穆勒(Jan-Werner Muller)認為,人民隻是按照選舉框架在投票,隻是這個框架內代錶進步力量的一方已經信用盡失。而同樣,民粹主...

從幾乎是純政治哲學的角度展開的分析,還是蠻有道理的。

評分若想藉此書來瞭解西方近年來民粹主義政治崛起的根源,那麼此書並未提供答案,因為作者沒有涉及到政治經濟學分析。僅從政治哲學的進路來界定民粹主義,不免有點隔靴搔癢。
評分個人感覺Mueller的這本書在內容上較Mudde的一書稍有欠缺,但在政治理論層麵要高Mudde的不少。更為明顯的是,Mueller顯著地具有更為消極的立場。 值得一提的是,Mueller去年來華講座係列跟這本書的內容基本上重閤,算是瞭結瞭去年聽他的講座想要寫點東西的願望(指讀書報告)
