The book "Populism in Europe and the Americas: Threat or Corrective for Democracy," edited by Cas Mudde and Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser, explores the implications of populist movements for liberal democracies across various contexts. It raises crucial questions about whether populism poses a threat to minority rights and democratic integrity or if it serves as a corrective force by reinvigorating political engagement. Through a comparative framework, the volume showcases contributions from country experts, aiming to deepen understanding of populism's effects and its complex interactions with existing political ideologies.
