Recenzje

"This is not just a book about populism, important though that is, but contains vital reflections on the nature of democracy. Rosanvallon views democracy as a permanent exploration, to be developed through multiple procedures and institutions - the opposite of the way it is understood by populism, which dangerously sees democracy as the politicization of all institutions under the centralized control of a leader."Colin Crouch, Emeritus Professor at the University of Warwick"Multi-faceted and challenging, The Populist Century is important reading for scholars of populism and democracy alike."Journal of Populism Studies
