About

Once regarded as a symptom of political underdevelopment, populist politics are challenging the political establishment in virtually all regions of the world. London School of Economics and Political Science offers the Populist and Alt-Right Politics programme.

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.

London School of Economics and Political Science's Populist and Alt-Right Politics course will characterise populism and alt-right politics, explore the causes of their rise throughout the world, discuss their relations with liberal democracy and authoritarian politics and study varieties of populism and alt-right politics in different regions of the world.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • Theories and concepts of populism
  • Causes of populism
  • Varieties of populism
  • Populism and democracy
  • Populism across regions
  • Alt-right politics
