Causes of the Rise of Populism

There are a number of factors that have contributed to the rise of populism in established democracies. These include:

• Economic inequality: Populist leaders often appeal to voters who feel left behind by the global economy. They promise to bring back jobs and raise wages.
• Political polarization: Established democracies have become increasingly polarized in recent years. This has made it harder to build consensus and get things done. Populist leaders exploit this polarization by appealing to the frustrations of voters on both sides of the political spectrum.
• Technological change: Technological change has disrupted the economy and labor market. This has led to job losses and wage stagnation. Populist leaders offer simple solutions to these complex problems.
• Immigration: Immigration is a major issue in many established democracies. Populist leaders often play on fears about immigration to appeal to voters.

Consequences of the Rise of Populism

The rise of populism has had a number of consequences for established democracies. These include:

• Erosion of democratic institutions: Populist leaders often attack democratic institutions, such as the media and the courts. They may also try to undermine the rule of law.
