Party positioning under populist state leaders

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors focus on two policy categories that are particularly relevant under populism: questions related to equality/welfare and multiculturalism. Considering that this ‘traditional` approach has been criticized for a lack of nuance (for example, Akkerman 2015; Protsyk and Garaz 2011), the authors propose a novel approach to capture positions based on semantic differences between party manifestos. Essentially, the research design facilitates a comparison of elections4 where public sentiments and political and economic conditions are similar, but where some elections take place with a populist as the incumbent state leader and others with a non-populist . . .
