Report title in the original language
Conspiracy theory and populism
Description
The book investigates how populist movements and conspiracy theories are interconnected in contemporary politics. It argues that conspiracy narratives are often embedded in populist communication strategies, where “the people” are contrasted against “corrupt elites.” The volume combines empirical case studies (from Europe, the Americas, and other regions) with theoretical analyses to show how conspiratorial thinking appears across both right- and left-wing populist contexts.
