A new article by Daniel Bochsler (CEU) and Andreas Juon (UCL) is forthcoming in the European Political Science Review: Hurricane or fresh breeze? Disentangling the populist effect on the quality of democracy.
They ask whether populists are more like a hurricane that undermines democracy or like a fresh breeze that reinvigorates it?
They find that it depends: on the aspect of democracy, on populists' government access, and on their ideology.
