The Other Side of the Coin

Edited by Jonathan Mendilow, Professor of Political Science, Rider University, US and Chair of IPSA RC20, the Research Committee on Political Finance and Political Corruption and Éric Phélippeau, Professor of Political Science, Paris Nanterre University and member of the Institut des Sciences Sociales du Politique (ISP), France

这及时的发出嘘声k offers an in-depth analysis of the intersection between populism and corruption, addressing phenomena that have been, so far, largely treated separately. Bringing together two dynamic and well-established fields of study, it proposes a theoretical framework for the study of populism and corruption in order to update our understanding of specific forms of each in a variety of socio-political settings.

‘Jonathan Mendilow and Eric Phélippeau have collected an excellent series of chapters on the connection of populism to corruption.’

‘Populist parties claim that political elites are corrupt. This book argues that they are too. Based on the systematic study of a large range of cases, grounded in a common theoretical frame, it exposes the five main types of corruption these parties practice. A brilliant demonstration, and a major contribution to the understanding of populism.’

‘Unfortunately, populism and corruption are key issues in contemporary worldwide public debate. Both topics separately have received much attention from the academy. However, their strong imbrication is almost under-explored. This terrific volume by distinguished international scholars covers this void. Essential reading for those concerned with the future of liberal democracy.’
