The Institutionalist Anti-Populism of the January 6th Committee
An assessment of the work of the January 6th committee investigating the assault on the U.S. Capitol in January 2021. The commentary addresses the committee’s work as an exercise in institutionalist anti-populism that seeks to disrupt the populist, Trumpist narrative by insisting on the rule of law, the power of expertise, and the value of norms in maintaining a liberal, democratic order. It offers an analysis of how the committee’s work might co…

This is the tenth issue of Populism, meaning that this is the end of our fifth full year of publication.To be sure, the work needed to get to this point began well before our first issue appeared in Spring 2018, but the proof, as they say, is in the puddling.Journals are for publishing.By that standard, we've made it five years.As editor, I thought this would be an appropriate time to take stock of what the journal has achieved -as well as to ass…

Insurrectionary Populism? Assessing the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol
The attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 was extraordinary. Analysts and commentators quickly attributed the attack as having been motivated by “populism” without much nuance or recognition of the diversity of voices and attitudes embedded in the insurrection. This commentary assesses the populist ideas and attitudes expressed by the insurrectionists in an effort to understand why they felt drawn to Washington, D.C. that day, as well as wh…

This special issue is a collection of articles whose authors explore different forms of populism in countries located beyond the Western core and therefore much less known to specialists in the field. The country-based case studies selected for this issue reflect diversity of populist forces in non-central polities in Europe. Each of them has a rich legacy of conflicts and controversies with major European powers, which serves as one of powerful …
Why Populism? Why Now? An Introduction
The cultural roots of isolationism and internationalism in American foreign policy
The Cultural Foundations of the Modern Militia Movement
When Timothy McVeigh lit the fuse that fired the bomb that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK on April 19, 1995, most Americans asked, “Why?” “Why,” people wondered, “would anyone do such a thing?” This paper explores the zvay(s) in which key dimensions of American political culture support and inspire the kinds of hate and paranoia that culminated in Timothy McVeigh’s horrible act. It is based on social movement…

Street-Level Leadership
Demands for governmental reform and reinvention have created new pressures on public servants to help create a government that works better and costs less. At the same time, changes in management approaches are pushing higher levels of responsibility and discretion downward to lower levels of the organization. Together, these factors have: (a.) increased the range and scope of discretion front-line public servants exercise, and (b.) created an en…
