SUMMARY:Me the People: How Populism Transforms Democracy
DESCRIPTION:What distinguishes populism from run-of-the-mill democratic 
 politics? And why should we be concerned by its rise? In Me
  the People\, Nadia Urbinati argues that populism should be r
 egarded as a new form of representative government\, one base
 d on a direct relationship between the leader and those the 
 leader defines as the “good” or “right” people. Urbi
 nati shows that\, while populist governments remain important
 ly distinct from dictatorial or fascist regimes\, their depen
 dence on the will of the leader\, along with their willingnes
 s to exclude the interests of those deemed outside the bound
 s of the “good” or “right” people\, stretches constit
 utional democracy to its limits and opens a pathway to autho
 ritarianism.
