CSTIO Seminar with Prof Timothy Devinney (Alliance Business School Manchester)

Changing the Rules of the Game: Populism, Democracy, Autocracy and the Varieties of Political Reality

Abstract

Populism has arisen again, but little discussion is given to its long history or varied definitions. This talk puts current discussions about populism in a logical and historical structure with the intent of showing that while what we see today may appear unique it is anything but.
