After Brexit and Trump, everyone is into “populism,” not only the few specialists who had previously studied the radical right. Populism usually has two targets, “experts” and conspicuous “others.” Concentrating on the latter aspect, this talk lays out an agenda for studying the effects of populism on the law and politics of “membership” in the liberal state. Particular attention is given to the regulation of immigration, citizenship, and majority culture within the European Union and its member states.
