“…In this sense, the comparison between Podemos and M5S has a great potential for analytic purposes. Both parties have arisen in the aftermath of the Great Recession in Southern Europe and have adopted a populist strategy directed against the governments of their countries, claiming for democratic renewal and rejection of austerity measures (Padoan, 2020). However, as said above, only Podemos can be included within the European radical left family.…”

“…Although the categorisation of the M5S as a form of “inclusionary populism” (Mudde & Rovira Kaltwasser, 2013), jointly with Southern European left‐populist parties such as Podemos, has recently become more diffused among scholars (e.g. Font et al, 2019; Hutter & Kriesi, 2019; Padoan, 2020), previous researches preferred either to escape from the inclusionary‐exclusionary dimension (defining the party as a case of “valence issue populism”, e.g. Zulianello, 2019) or to treat M5S's populism as “polyvalent”.…”

This article empirically explores how populist actors talk about the nation. This is a research area mostly tackled in studies on right‐wing populism, with other forms of populist politics usually left out of the analysis. To fill this academic gap, we focus on the Spanish party Podemos and the Italian Five Star Movement (M5S). The former is a paradigmatic example of radical left populism, whereas the latter is commonly considered as a catch‐all populist party with no clear ideological connotation. Through a discourse analysis on leaders' speeches and official public declarations, we focus on the role that national identity plays in the strategies of Podemos and M5S and on the type of nation they discursively construct. Whilst Podemos' populist strategy purposely aims at contending to the right ideologically loaded concepts and signifiers to construct an idea of nation fitting the party's leftist values, M5S's strategy mostly aims at appropriating valence issues, such as the “Made in Italy” brand and the concept of “national interest”. Thus, our analysis contributes to clarify the differences between the leftist political culture of Podemos and the “post‐ideological” one of M5S, as also reflected by survey data confirming strong differences in “nationalist” attitudes between their respective electorates.

“…Nevertheless, she maintained a sort of 'division of labour' between such universal social scheme and other, targeted programmes to be used discretionarily for political purposes (Zarazaga, 2012). Crucially, CFK pursued the creation of her own organised base of supportsymbolised by the consolidation of Left-Peronist organisation La Cámpora, widely favoured in the distribution of governmental charges -instead of relying on the coalition patiently articulated by her predecessor (Padoan, 2020). By doing so, she alienated the support of important PJ's factions and of the CGT, which was, on the contrary, reclaiming much more political influence within the Peronist-Kirchnerist processes of candidate selection and policy-making (AR1; AR8).…”

The role of social movements in the ‘second incorporation’ of popular sectors in Bolivia and Argentina

Latin American ‘Pink Tide’ has been functionally interpreted as a ‘second wave of incorporation’ of the popular sectors in the polity domain after their ‘disincorporation’ and/or exclusion by authoritarian regimes and/or neoliberal reforms. This contribution proposes a comparative analysis of the roles played by social movements in Bolivian and Argentinean “second incorporations”, by relying on fifty in-depth interviews with partisan and movement leaders in both countries, in order to assess the different characteristics and consequences of the processes of “second incorporation” in the two countries. The paper argues that the extent to which such actors provide an encompassing representation of ‘excluded sectors’ is key to understand how different forms of political incorporation shaped different ‘social blocs’ either supporting or contrasting progressive political projects in power, and eventually created the conditions, in the medium term, for the electoral rise of right-wing opponents.

“…Embora existam debates acadêmicos em torno dos conceitos de populismo (Kaltwasser et al, 2017) e direita radical (Codato;Berlatto;Bolognesi, 2018), as definições mais usuais permitem reconhecer Bolsonaro como pertencente a ambas categorias. Uma classificação frequente de populismo se baseia na oposição discursiva entre a elite, ou establishment, e o povo (Mudde, 2004;Brubaker, 2017;Hawkins;Kaltwasser, 2017;Casullo, 2019;Padoan, 2020). Já a direita radical se define pelas atitudes antissistema, antipartido, por discursos de ódio e valores autoritários (Sartori, 1976;Mudde, 2007;Caiani;Carlotti;Padoan, 2021).…”

A ira do homem branco: preditores do voto em Enéas e Bolsonaro

Ao constatar diversas similaridades entre os candidatos presidenciais Enéas Carneiro e Jair Bolsonaro, neste artigo testo a hipótese de haver um perfil comum entre o eleitorado de ambos. Usando dados eleitorais e pesquisas de intenção de voto, descrevo como a distribuição territorial do voto em Enéas converge com a de Bolsonaro e como os preditores mais eficientes do voto em Enéas também preveem o voto em Bolsonaro. Os resultados apontam para um nicho pequeno, porém estável, no apoio às candidaturas de direita radical ao longo do tempo: homens jovens, brancos, com maior educação formal e renda. O artigo informa a discussão sobre a existência de um “núcleo duro” da direita radical no Brasil, apontando possíveis mecanismos relativos à frustração e à raiva de homens brancos jovens após a redemocratização.
