Populistische Scheinriesen, populistisches Schein-rising.

- Abstract
More than five years after the last populist wave has peaked, there is still a notable tendency among scholars and pundits to continue telling the tale of the rise of populism; a tale often told in a particularly drastic and colorful way. Departing from David Art's thought-provoking conceptual critique, this contribution casts a critical light on three of its elements: (1) the assumption that populism is indeed the analytically most useful concept to grasp the actors usually subsumed under it; (2) the assumption that these actors are part of a transnational or even transcontinental populist project and therefore little but variations of a common theme; and, most importantly, (3) the assumption of a populist rise as such, i.e., of populists increasingly gaining ascendency in Europe and the world.
