It intends to bring forward a perspective which envisions populism not simply as a negative aspect of politics, but as a way of doing politics.   Contemporary politics has been characterised by the overarching presence of populism, while simultaneously engendering a sense of fear and extremism around the results of populist movements. This collection intends to unpack the true potential for movements from and by the people, linking these historically and offering a new lens for thinking about contemporary populism. What can we learn from recent events? How can these lessons inform how we think about politics for the future? Offering this approach, from the perspective of populist potential, will help us answer these questions and open the debate with contributors from countries or regions that have a tradition of populism, privileging them with a deeper understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Emmy Eklundh and Andy Knott  Chapter 1: Populism: The Politics of a Definition Andy Knott  Chapter 2: Populism and Myth María Esperanza Casullo  Chapter 3: Populism and the Politics of Control Paolo Gerbaudo  Chapter 4: Ten Theses on Populism Emilia Palonen  Chapter 5: Why Populists aren’t Mad  Emmy Eklundh  Chapter 6: Populism, Democracy and the Transnational People: In Defence of Democratic Populism Mark Devenney  Chapter 7: Left Populism as a Political Project Marina Prentoulis  Chapter 8: A Manifesto and Populism?
