Summary:

At the end of the Cold War, which was ushered in by the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the West celebrated the "end of history"--"the endpoint of mankind's ideological evolution"--only to find itself caught in internal conflicts of political populism. This book focuses on so-called "right wing" populist movements and parties in democratic polities--those in Russia, Central and Western Europe, and the United States. Central to the definition and dynamics of populism are its anti-globalism and anti-elitism, the latter a reaction against the elites' arrogance and dismissive contempt.
