Parties, populism, and anti-establishment politics in East Central Europe
Article Abstract:
Populism in East Central Europe (ECE) should be treated as a dynamic phenomenon in which radical ideologies are being overshadowed by anti-establishment appeal. ECE populism is explored through Western-developed populism frameworks and it is argued that its strong anti-establishment posture is based on blaming the post-communist mainstream for its political and moral misconduct, rather than the challenges encountered in the democratic transition.

From vanguard of the proletariat to vox populi: Left-populism as a 'shadow' of contemporary socialism
Article Abstract:
The decline of traditional Marxism has allowed contemporary left-populism to adopt a specific post-Cold War form with certain similarities and differences between Europe and Latin America. This modified left-populism has the potential to become a major feature of contemporary politics as a 'shadow' of traditional socialist approaches.
