Dear readers, 

welcome to POP (Political Observer on Populism). POP aims to be a forum for discussions, ideas, stories and news about populist movements in Europe and beyond.

Here everyone – citizens, journalists, academics, politicians – can find an opportunity to learn more about the latest political developments, bring a contribution or comment the monthly post.

Populism will be investigated in all his forms: as electoral strategy, political show, critical voice, outburst of social anger and frustration, blasts of coprolalia, social heuristic to make sense of the world, and more.

Before criticizing an informed citizen should read, question prior beliefs, and consider other points of view.

That is exactly what POP wants to provide in a timeliness and catchy way, following current affairs without losing sight of a wider horizon.

Here, POP is born and hopes to continue with your support.

Enjoy this long and strange trip,

stay tuned,

POP
