Populism: A Permanent Feature of Modern Politics

In 2017, when Britain had already exited Europe and Donald Trump was elected US President for the first time, Cambridge University declared populism as the 'Word of the Year'.

We might have thought that this term would be used less in about a decade. But with Donald Trump returning to power in America, the 'Reform Party' performing well in elections in Britain, and the scenes of Argentinian President Javier Milei appearing in public with a chainsaw, the term populism has come to confront us more and more.
