The collection of articles is a joint work of researchers from Latvia, Germany, France, Great Britain, as well as Greece and USA, providing a multifaceted study of the very core of the “populism” concept, analysing its practical expressions in several European countries and USA. The authors of the book make their contribution also to theoretical discussion of the expressions of populism in politics, economics, and what is especially timely nowadays – in the media environment.
