Abstract

Populism is more relevant than ever. Research has increasingly conceptualized populism as a communication strategy, making it an integral part of scholarship on political communication. Certain political leaders adopt rhetoric in which both elites (vertical antagonism) and minority groups in society (horizontal antagonism) are being targeted which could intensify polarization and hostility. This panel studies patterns and effects of populist communication by political actors.
