Abstract

ABSTRACT The politics of populism is the politics of belonging. It reflects a deep challenge to the liberal democratic state, which attempts to maintain social boundaries (as an imperative of state capacity) but also allow immigration. Boundaries—established through citizenship and norms of belonging—must be both coherent and malleable. Changes to boundaries become sites of contestation for exclusionary populists in the putative interest of “legitimate” citizens. Populism is an inevitable response to liberal democratic adjustment; any liberal democracy that redefines citizenship opens itself to populist challenge.

自由民主、国家身份边界和民粹主义的切入点

民粹主义政治就是归属政治。这反映了对自由民主国家的深刻挑战，自由民主国家试图保持社会边界（作为国家能力的必要条件），但也允许移民。通过公民身份和归属规范建立的边界必须是连贯的和可延展的。为了“合法”公民的假定利益，边界的改变成为排外民粹主义者的竞争场所。民粹主义是对自由民主调整的必然反应；任何重新定义公民身份的自由民主都会面临民粹主义的挑战。

期刊介绍： Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society is a political-science journal dedicated to advancing political theory with an epistemological bent. Recurrent questions discussed in our pages include: How can political actors know what they need to know to effect positive social change? What are the sources of political actors’ beliefs? Are these sources reliable? Critical Review is the only journal in which the ideational determinants of political behavior are investigated empirically as well as being assessed for their normative implications. Thus, while normative political theorists are the main contributors to Critical Review, we also publish scholarship on the realities of public opinion, the media, technocratic decision making, ideological reasoning, and other empirical phenomena.
