'Populist parties claim that political elites are corrupt. This book argues that they are too. Based on the systematic study of a large range of cases, grounded in a common theoretical frame, it exposes the five main types of corruption these parties practice. A brilliant demonstration, and a major contribution to the understanding of populism.'

'Populist parties claim that political elites are corrupt. This book argues that they are too.

A brilliant demonstration, and a major contribution to the understanding of populism.' -- Nonna Mayer, Sciences Po Paris, France 'Unfortunately, populism and corruption are key issues in contemporary worldwide public debate. Both topics separately have received much attention from the academy. However, their strong imbrication is almost under-explored. This terrific volume by distinguished international scholars covers this void. Essential reading for those concerned with the future of liberal democracy.' -- Fernando Jimenez, University of Murcia, Spain
