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.

評分「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...

從幾乎是純政治哲學的角度展開的分析,還是蠻有道理的。
評分在一個到處講“民粹主義”的時代,到底什麼纔是“民粹主義”?Muller這本書可以說及時——但不一定是全麵地——迴答瞭這一問題。在Muller看來,民粹主義實際上是一種關於何為“我們人民”的moral imagination, 當liberal democracy講“我們是人民”/”我們也是人民“時, 民粹主義主張”隻有我們纔是人民“。因此,民粹主義的核心不在於antielitist, 而在於antipluralist,在於其對於彆人也可以代錶我們人民的排斥。這種思想史的解讀當然有其說服力,不過私以為不引入social-economical的討論,還是很難完全把握當代民粹主義興起的本質。
評分作為對民粹主義的入門書還是不錯的,和Galston、Zakaria的文章一起讀效果更好。
評分民粹否定的概念是解釋清瞭,但也就如此而已瞭
