This collection of essays is the result of work on the project “Populism in Russia and in the World” implemented in 2017 by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in cooperation with the Expert Group “European Dialogue”. The project was international and interdisciplinary, and the proposed book claims not so much to exhaustive coverage of the subject as to its delineation from different perspectives and the invitation of other researchers to a serious dialogue. The book is intended for students, teachers, expert and scientific community, as well as all readers interested in political parties and movements. The authors are responsible for the content of the articles.
