| Abstract | "Righteous Demagogues explores the causes, dynamics, and consequences of populist politics in South Asia and beyond. It argues that populist mobilizations are rooted in crises of representation, and populism is a symptom, not an underlying cause, of democratic malaise. Populist leaders, in framing their appeals, evoke the moral contract - that states are obligated to redress certain types of inequality - and promise its restoration in ways that resonate with voters across lines of partisanship and social divisions, leading to party system change. Depending on how broadly populist appeals resonate, different types of populism emerge, with consequences ranging from the rejection of populists to varying forms of democratic backsliding"-- Provided by publisher. |
