“…Populist groups and leaders do not represent the interests of the people, but consider themselves an integral part of them, that is, they are the people. For their part, people welcome the populist leader as their own, but at the same time consider him better than themselves, and recognize that he is endowed with often allegedly charismatic qualities that give the right to rule (Stengel, MacDonald and Nabers 2019).…”

This article comparatively analyzes the manifestations and various factors of political populism in the European post-transitional periphery. The main difficulty in mapping political populism in the European post-transitional periphery and defining populist parties most accurately is that, unlike most political forces in developed democracies, such parties do not belong to traditional parties. Moreover, their ideology combines the positions of both right and left parties, which makes it extremely difficult to place them on the classical right-left scale of the party spectrum. The political agenda of the populist parties of the European post-transition peripheral countries has a different content, but it usually comes down to updating issues that are hushed up by the political establishment: protecting national and cultural identity, taking tough measures aimed at combating corruption and crime, protecting traditional family values, and even harsh criticism of the Council of Europe, the OSCE and the EU and their institutions. A distinctive feature of the populist forces was also that in their majority they called for the protection of the rights and interests of ordinary people and the wider use of the instruments of direct democracy, and thus directly opposed one of the fundamental principles of liberal democracy, taking into account the opinion of the minority. The article analyzes the emergence of a populist environment, where the responsibility, trust and dignity of politicians are distorted, which in turn leads to a crisis of understanding and civiliarchic culture. The influence of populist parties has grown and most European post-transitional peripheral countries have at least one successful populist party, and populists are among the most influential parties. It is noteworthy that civil society organizations have identified the activities of populist leaders and their parties as the main threat facing the Eastern Partnership countries. Using populist technologies, mainly in the context of an election campaign, leaders and their political groups seek to manipulate public opinion and change the alignment of political parties in the European post-transitional periphery.

“…On the basis of these insights, researchers have started to unpack the nexus between the domestic and the international dimensions of populism (Chryssogelos, 2017;Stengel et al, 2019). Studies of global governance have for a long time claimed that the hollowing out of national democracy by international organisations or regional integration has caused a populist backlash (Mair, 2009;Zürn, 2004).…”

A seemingly never-ending stream of observers claims that the populist emphasis on nationalism, identity, and popular sovereignty undermines international collaboration and contributes to the crisis of the Liberal International Order (LIO). Why, then, do populist governments continue to engage in regional and international institutions? This Element unpacks the counter-intuitive inclination towards institutional cooperation in populist foreign policy and discusses its implications for the LIO. Straddling Western and non-Western contexts, it compares the regional cooperation strategies of populist leaders from three continents: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. The study identifies an emerging populist 'script' of regional cooperation based on notions of popular sovereignty. By embedding regional cooperation in their political strategies, populist leaders are able to contest the LIO and established international organisations without having to revert to unilateral nationalism.

“…While under the line of parsimonious approach, populism is called as the one depending on the two components. The concepts of right wing populism are depending on the two components, which are anti-elitism and people-centrism (Stengel, MacDonald and Nabers 2019). One thread in the literature suggests that right wing populism should considered as an ideological concept, while the second author (Evans and Mellon 2019) states that this concept cannot offer full answers to ideological concepts.…”

“…The aim of this research paper is to look into a recent upsurge in Euro Scepticism and Right Wing Populism by observing their relationship and frameworks. The research of Stengel, MacDonald and Nabers (2019) it should be assumed that multiple crises have been experienced in the last decade, which had a major influence on the populist and Eurosceptic parties. For example, Hooghe and Marks (2007) have considered crisis as a critical juncture and even, when it ushered a new era.…”

Euro Scepticism and Right Wing Populism are two similar phenomena in recent times because new parties are constantly coming up with new challenges. It was observed that multiple crises took place in European context, which had a major influence on the development of new parties in both Euro Scepticism and Right Wing Populism. This research aimed to investigate the reasons behind downfall of Euro Scepticism and Right Wing Populism parties. For that reason, critical literature review method was adopted to investigate the influence of debt crisis and refugee crisis on the parties. The results were based on research articles lying in the last 5 period. The results obtained show that this cleavage is running in inclusive and exclusive European cosmopolite, which is the main reason behind this lack of votes.
