Across the world, established and emergent liberal democracies are under challenge from so‐called populist movements. This entry explores the contemporary usage of the term “populism” and the nature of the political movements to which it is applied. It also addresses the question of “the people” as assumed in many versions of populism and how the geography of electoral politics tends to limit the possibility of taking politics to the people without geographical and institutional mediation that populism presumes is the alternative to the cleavage‐based politics of established party politics.
