Anthoula Malkopoulou warns against conflating populism with authoritarianism and thus over-reacting and supporting repression. But treating populists as regular political opponents may lead to the opposite: under-reacting to the risks posed by some populist parties and individuals
Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor, Department of Government, Uppsala University
Prior to appointment to her current post at Uppsala in January 2022, Anthoula worked at Lund, Princeton and the Hellenic Open University.
Her research focuses primarily on democratic theory, constitutional ideas and political ethics.
It is problem-driven, and examines questions of political representation, democratic exclusion, voting rights, political parties, and populism.
More specific topics include militant democracy and democratic self-defence, compulsory voting, sortition, ostracism, and lately democratic secessionism.
Anthoula is also broadly interested in political ideologies, the history of political thought (mainly 19th and 20th century), and ancient Greek democratic thinking.
