Description: Populism responds to moments of abrupt social change, such as modernization in Latin America or the 2008 financial crisis. As a logic of political action, it constructs its discourse from an invocation to the "people," who constitute themselves, through the leader who interprets them, as the subject of the action, as well as a morally superior and polarized force facing an antagonist: the elite, the caste, "those above," "those outside." According to Camero, the movements that today appeal to populism against consolidated democracies should be considered a true wake-up call, a strong knock on the door of liberal democracies. From being a phenomenon conceived as peripheral, as an eccentricity of backward societies and incipient democracies, with little institutionalization, it has not only placed itself at the center of the debate in the United States and Europe, but it represents, as argued in these pages, a threat to open society and pluralism, as well as to the system of freedoms that sustains our civilized life. "The emergence of populism" will allow the reader to understand a political phenomenon as complex and diverse as the ideological expressions that exist and interact on the global stage of modern democracies.
