Overview
Key facts
In parallel and closely associated with the expansion of populist politics there has been a surge in alt-right politics that usually articulate populism’s anti-establishment appeals to far-right ideologies based on race, ethnic and nationalist forms of identification. The two, however, should be distinguished, as there are many varieties of populism, ranging from the radical left to the extreme right.
