While most studies on transnational populism have been focused on supranational level politics (e.g. the European Parliament), there are more numerous and notably more consequential manifestations of transnational populism in the form of populist politicians and parties campaigning among external voters. The article adopts the diverse case design and compares the campaign of left-wing populist MPAIS among Ecuadorians in Spain to the campaign of authoritarian populist AKP among Turks in Germany and the populist radical right EKRE’s campaign among Estonians in Finland. The paper outlines the key similarities that can be treated as the determinants of success among such parties, but also explores the particularity of forms transnational populism can take in case of different ideational types of populism and in different contexts.
For a more fruitful discussion, the article draft will be shared with the registered participants, the registration deadline is on 20. October.
