“…Until now, empirical studies using the ideational definition have focused on contemporary parties and movements, especially in Europe (Jagers and Walgrave 2007;Mudde 2007;Rooduijn and Pauwels 2011) but somewhat in Latin America (Armony and Armony 2005;Hawkins 2009). These studies are valuable because they show the presence of populist discourse across parties and movements in a variety of countries, thus validating the claim that populist ideas are a key unifying feature.…”

“…On the one hand, by assuming that populism is a set of ideas that can be combined with other ideological features, new research has been able to identify different subtypes of populist forces across the world Mudde 2007;Mudde and Rovira Kaltwasser 2013;Stavrakakis and Katsambekis 2014). On the other hand, a number of scholars have applied techniques of textual analysis and survey research to the measurement of populist ideas, not just in one or two countries (Armony and Armony 2005;Jagers and Walgrave 2007) but in regional and cross-regional studies (Akkerman, Mudde, and Zaslove 2014;Hawkins 2009;Rooduijn and Pauwels 2011). These works are beginning to examine the causes and consequences of populism, including its impact on policy and democratic institutions (Hawkins 2010;Mudde and Rovira Kaltwasser 2012;Mudde and Rovira Kaltwasser 2013;Mudde and Rovira Kaltwasser 2017).…”

Although the study of populism has traditionally been the domain of Latin Americanists, research here has become increasingly comparative. One of the most important payoffs of this comparative work is conceptual. Rather than defining populism in structuralist, economic, or political-strategic terms, a growing number of scholars around the world are using an ideational conceptualization that draws heavily from earlier discursive theories. By employing the ideational approach, scholars have been able to provide empirical measures of populist discourse. In this article we explain and show the advantages of this ideational approach to a Latin American audience by presenting a new historical dataset measuring the discourse of Argentine, Chilean, and Peruvian presidents across the twentieth century. Our main intent is to clarify the ideational approach as well as to enliven the conceptual debate. While we are critical of alternative definitions, we acknowledge and reassess their theoretical insights.Aun cuando el estudio del populismo ha sido tradicionalmente un campo de los latinoamericanistas, la investigación al respecto se ha vuelto cada vez más comparativa. Uno de los beneficios más importantes de los trabajos comparados es conceptual. En vez de definir al populismo en términos estructurales, económicos o político-estratégicos, un creciente número de académicos alrededor del mundo utilizan una conceptualización ideacional vinculada con previas teorías discursivas. Mediante el uso del enfoque ideacional académicos han sido capaces de proveer mediciones empíricas de discurso populista. En este artículo explicamos y mostramos las ventajas del enfoque ideacional mediante la discusión de una nueva base de datos que mide el discurso de los presidentes de Argentina, Chile y Perú durante el siglo veinte. Nuestra principal intensión es clarificar el enfoque ideacional y a su vez avivar el debate conceptual. Si bien es cierto que somos críticos de definiciones alternativas, reconocemos y reconsideramos sus aportes teóricos.

“…A growing body of literature (Hawkins 2009;Rooduijn & Pauwels 2011) operationalises populism as 'a discourse, invoking the supremacy of popular sovereignty to claim that corrupt elites are defrauding "the People"' (Aslanidis 2015, p. 9). As Kriesi (2014, p. 364) explains:…”

“…Analiza definicija istraživača koji populizam tretiraju kao političku ideologiju (primjerice, Mudde, 2004;De Raadt, Hollanders i Krouwel, 2004;Stanley, 2008;Hawkins, 2009;Rooduijn i Pauwels, 2011;Van Kessel, 2015) sugerira kako se bit populizma kao političke ideologije svodi na ideju da je društvo podijeljeno na dvije homogene, međusobno antagonističke skupine -pošten narod i korumpiranu elitu. Populizam stavlja naglasak na jedinstvo i homogenost naroda, ali i na homogenost političke elite.…”

Berto ŠALAJ, Marijana GRBEŠA Fakultet političkih znanosti, Zagreb UDK: 316.334.3(497.5) 329.7(497.5) Pregledni rad Primljeno: 12. 12. 2016. Populizam je kao pojam široko prisutan u hrvatskom javnom diskursu, no u znanstvenom diskursu taj relevantni i aktualni fenomen skromno je zastupljen. Nastojeći potaknuti znanstveni interes za problematiku populizma u Hrvatskoj, ovaj rad donosi pregled i sintezu najvažnijih uvida iz recentne literature o populizmu, pri čemu se usredotočuje na dva važna pitanja. Prvo se odnosi na pristupe populizmu, odnosno na analizu razumijevanja populizma kao političkoga fenomena, a drugo na metodologiju istraživanja populizma. Autori smatraju kako je pristup koji populizam razumijeva kao "slabu" političku ideologiju istraživački potencijalno najproduktivniji. U dijelu koji se bavi metodologijom istraživanja populizma rad se usredotočuje na problem konceptualizacije i operacionalizacije. Autori zagovaraju konceptualizaciju, prema kojoj je populizam politička metaideologija koju karakterizira istodobna prisutnost dvaju definirajućih obilježja: pozitivno vrednovanje naroda i difuzni politički antielitizam. Pritom autori ističu kako se razumijevanjem populizma kao metaideologije otvara prostor za jasno artikuliranje teze o postojanju više tipova populizma, što smatraju jednom od najpropulzivnijih tema u budućim istraživanjima.
