    “Populism” versus “Popular”: A Response to Ziarek’s “Populism—A Crux or Crisis of Politics?”
    (Project Muse, 2019) Demirel-Pegg, Tijen; Political Science, School of Liberal Arts
    This article discusses two main issues Ziarek highlights regarding populist social movements. The first one is the exclusionary stance populist movements take when contending for power in a democratic society. The second one is the repressive response to contenders when populist movements are in power. The underlying characteristic in both issues is that populists movements assume an anti-pluralist stance against other contending alternatives. Therefore, the distinction between “popular” and “populist” is an important one.
