Participants will present an analysis of the rising trend of Electoral Populism in Latin America and Eastern Europe and its negative effects on the development and consolidation of democratic practices in both regions.
The presentations will answer the questions: What is populism, neo-populism or electoral populism?, How does it affect representation, participation and accountability in developing democracies? What are the effects of electoral populism on the institutionalisation of democratic institutions, norms and general “rules of the game”?
Each brief presentation will review specific country/region cases in comparative perspective, these include: Belarus, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine and Central Asia, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
