For a Left Populism

We are seeing the rise of a populist moment around the world on both the left and the right.Movements like Bernie Sander, Jeremy Corbyn, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have emerged in the midst of the neoliberal crisis.In this book, leading political thinker Chantal Mouffe proposes a left-populist strategy that could bring together the manifold struggles against subordination, oppression and discrimination.In redrawing political frontiers, this "populist moment" points to a "return of the political" after years of postpolitics.This return may open the way for authoritarian solutions-through regimes that weaken liberal-democratic institutions-but it could also lead to a reaffirmation and extension of democratic values.
