Working Paper on ‘What Kind of Public Policies Trigger Populism?’

This Working Paper for the DEMOS project investigates public policies that precede the rise of populism through four national case studies: two EU member states (Greece and Hungary) because of a strong, long-term support of populist parties; one EU member state (Lithuania), where support of populist parties remain moderate, although historical and socio-economic features suggest a likely rise of populism; and one country (Turkey) that exhibits the potential hybridization tendencies of populism and the role of policies in the shift from democratic towards authoritarian regimes.
