The recent rise of populist politics represent a major challenge for liberal democracies. This important book explores the psychological reasons for the rise of populism, featuring contributions from leading international researchers in the fields of psychology and political science.Unlike liberal democracy based on the Enlightenment values of individual freedom, autonomy and rationality, both right-wing and left-wing populism offer collectivist, autocratic formulations reminiscent of the evolutionary history and tribal instincts of our species. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the psychology of populism, covering such phenomena as identity seeking, anger and fear, collective narcissism, grievance, norms, perceptions of powerlessness and deprivation, authoritarianism, nationalism, radicalism, propaganda and persuasion, ethnocentrism, xenophobia and the effects of globalization.The book is divided into four parts. Part I deals with the motivational and emotional factors that attract voters to populist causes, and the human needs and values that populist movements satisfy. Part II analyzes the cognitive features of populist appeals, especially their emphasis on simplicity, epistemic certainty and moral absolutism. Part III turns to one of the defining features of populism: its offer of a powerful tribal identity and collectivist ideology that provide meaning and personal significance to its followers. Finally, in Part IV, the propaganda tactics used by populist movements are analysed, including the role of charismatic leadership, authoritarianism, and nationalism and the use of conspiracy narratives and persuasive strategies.This is fascinating reading on a highly topical issue. The book will be of interest to students, researchers, and applied professionals in all areas of psychology and the social sciences as a textbook or reference book, and to anyone interested in the global rise of populism.

"Psychanalyste, Karima Lazali a mené une singulière enquête sur ce que la colonisation française a fait à la société algérienne, enquête dont elle restitue les résultats dans ce livre étonnant. Car elle a constaté chez ses patient?e?s des troubles dont rend mal compte la théorie psychanalytique. Et que seuls les effets profonds du "trauma colonial" permettent de comprendre : plus d'un demi-siècle après l'indépendance, les subjectivités continuent à se débattre dans des blancs de mémoire et de parole, en Algérie comme en France. Elle montre ce que ces "blancs" doivent à l'extrême violence de la colonisation : exterminations de masse dont la mémoire enfouie n'a jamais disparu, falsifications des généalogies à la fin du XIXe siècle, sentiment massif que les individus sont réduits à des corps sans nom... La "colonialité" fut une machine à produire des effacements mémoriels allant jusqu'à falsifier le sens de l'histoire. Et en cherchant à détruire l'univers symbolique de l'"indigène", elle a notamment mis à mal la fonction paternelle : "Leurs colonisateurs ont changé les Algériens en fils de personne" (Mohammed Dib). Mais cet impossible à refouler ressurgit inlassablement. Et c'est l'une des clés, explique l'auteure, de la permanence du "fratricide" dans l'espace politique algérien : les fils frappés d'illégitimité mènent entre frères une guerre terrible, comme l'illustrent le conflit tragique FLN/ MNA lors de la guerre d'indépendance ou la guerre intérieure des années 1990, qui fut aussi une terreur d'État. Une démonstration impressionnante, où l'analyse clinique est constamment étayée par les travaux d'historiens, par les études d'acteurs engagés (comme Frantz Fanon) et, surtout, par une relecture novatrice des oeuvres d'écrivains algériens de langue française (Kateb Yacine, Mohammed Dib, Nabile Farès, Mouloud Mammeri...)."--Page 4 of cover.
