When seeking power, populists politicize issues, and point to problems that need to be addressed such as inequalities, the loss of national sovereignty to globalization, or the rule of unresponsive political elites. Yet their solutions tend to be problematic, simplistic, and in most instances, instead of leading to better forms of democracy, their outcomes are authoritarian. Populists use a playbook of concentrating power in the hands of the president, using the legal system instrumentally to punish critics, and attacking the media and civil society. Despite promising to empower the people, populists lead to processes of democratic erosion and even transform malfunctioning democracies into hybrid regimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eRoutledge Handbook of Global Populism\u003c\/i\u003e provides instructors, students, and researchers with a thorough and systematic overview of the history and development of populism and analyzes the main debates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"It broadens our view and provides rich material for a more empirically based debate on populism and, most of all, on the reasons for its development.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDirk Jörke, Professor of Political Theoy, TU Darmstadt, Germany\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The Routledge Handbook of Global Populism by Carlos de la Torre is one the best anthologies I have read in recent years. The book has two major pluses. First, top-notch author have provided clearly written, well-argued, and engaging chapters with up-to-date bibliographies on the topic. These include authors such as Andrew Arato, Jean Cohen, Steven Levitsky, Kurt Weyland, Kenneth Roberts, Nadia Urbinati, Robert Barr, Kirk Hawkins, Benjamin Moffitt, Paul Blokker, and Federico Finchelstein. The second plus is the thematic scope of the contributions and the consideration of competing approaches. In addition to de la Torre’s general introduction and a coauthored afterword, the twenty-eight chapters deal with everything one would want to know about the phenomenon…In short, this book is a must read because of its scope and high scholarly level. It will be very useful for teachers seeking up-to-date articles on populism for their course syllabi, and it is a lifesaver for students preparing term papers and dissertations on the subject. I highly recommend it, and I am currently using it in an undergraduate course on political processes and in a graduate seminar on contemporary political theory.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBenjamin Arditi, Professor of Politics, National University of Mexico (UNAM), Mexico \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
