Populism, the state and modernisation in Greece: A historical perspective

Angelos Chryssogelos,(2017), “Populism, the state and modernisation in Greece: A historical perspective”, LSE, 25 Oκτωβρίου

Since the eruption of the Greek crisis in 2010, few concepts have captured the attention of public and academic debates in Greece more than populism. In lay discourse, populism – understood often as irresponsible macroeconomics and demagogy – is commonly seen as the reason behind the advent of the crisis. In academic research, an intense debate rages between those who define populism as an illiberal ideology that threatens political stability and democracy, and those who view populism as a necessary emancipatory project that empowers the people to resist hostile economic policies.
