Abstract: Given the contemporary growth of 'populist' political parties and movements in a number of highly developed democratic states in Europe and North America, there has been a resurgence in academic interest around the various causes for the groundswell of support for political populism.

“…While not reflected in the data analysis, we did observe that men's football stories were primarily related to European and domestic football—in other words, the non-Olympic category (Table 5).

This has an impact on increasing inequality, institution.…”

None of them proved to meet our criteria (outlined below) and none were included in the final review.…”
