Populism is a chronic condition rather than a recent phenomenon writes Kirk Hawkins. When we recognise the historical roots of populism, we can manage this challenge to liberal democracy
Kirk teaches comparative politics with an emphasis on Latin America.
His current research focuses on political organisation and populism, and he directs Team Populism, a global scholarly network studying populism's causes and consequences.
Projects include the creation of a global populism dataset, experimental research on populism's rhetorical mechanisms, and the mitigation of populism's negative consequences for society.
