Abstract

Much of the literature on populism, particularly in contemporary advanced democracies, focuses on its disruptive power to shake up mainstream party systems, to criticize the functioning of democratic institutions, and to mobilize critical citizens against elites. This chapter considers how populists construct regimes when they have established themselves in power, taking cases from post-Communist Central and Eastern Europe as examples. We identify specific governmental policies, ideological tenets, institutional designs, and discursive practices that enable populists to stabilize their rule and forge representational linkages with large blocks of the population. The chapter questions, however, whether the success of populists in power in these cases provides an indication of how populists might succeed in advanced democracies or whether it is a result of the peculiar political conditions of post-Communism, the absence of which suggests limiting conditions in other contexts.
民粹主义者掌权
许多关于民粹主义的文献,特别是在当代发达民主国家,都集中在其颠覆性力量上,即撼动主流政党制度,批评民主制度的运作,动员持批评态度的公民反对精英。本章以后共产主义的中欧和东欧为例,探讨民粹主义者在掌权后如何构建政权。我们确定了具体的政府政策、意识形态原则、制度设计和话语实践,使民粹主义者能够稳定他们的统治,并与大量人口建立代表性联系。然而,本章提出的问题是,在这些情况下,民粹主义者掌权的成功是否提供了民粹主义者如何在发达民主国家取得成功的指示,或者这是否是后共产主义特殊政治条件的结果,没有这种政治条件意味着其他背景下的限制条件。
