Riassunto analitico
Populism can be combined with multiple and diverse ideologies. Building on that, recent studies, generally know as the “varieties of populism” literature have identified the ideological contours of two distinct types populism: the “populist radical right” and the “populist left”, which we prefer to intend here as "anti-austerity populism".
Nevetheless, even in the varieties of populism literature, very scant attention has been paid to comparative analysis of populist voters. Existing studies are indeed barely comparative across varieties of populism, they focus on the populist radical right, while leaving the study of anti-austerity populist voters rather unexplored. In other words, do different varieties of populis parties mobilize different populist voters?
To answer this question, by employing ESS data, we analyze the social bases of six different populist parties, an more precisely three populist radical right parties and three populist anti-austerity parties. To do so, we employ innovative theories on social stratification in contemporary societies: Oesch’s theory on new occupational classes in post-industrial societies and the theory on the dualization of labor markets and welfare states.
