吉安娜·约内斯库和欧内斯特·盖尔纳（1969：1）在他们关于民粹主义的经典编辑文集的开头，转述了马克思和恩格尔的著名的开场白：“一个幽灵正在困扰着世界--民粹主义”。然而，在20世纪60年代末，并不是整个世界都在闹鬼。纵观约内斯库和盖尔纳书中的案例研究，我们发现有关于北美、拉丁美洲、俄罗斯、东欧和非洲的章节，但没有关于世界上大多数贡献者生活和工作的地方的章节：西欧。相比之下，本卷只侧重于这一领域。这反映了这样一个事实：虽然美国的罗斯·佩罗、加拿大的普雷斯顿·曼宁和澳大利亚的宝琳·汉森都曾作为新的民粹主义领导人引起过零星的关注，但在过去15年里，在成熟的民主国家中，民粹主义持续增长和成功的主要地区是西欧。
Ghiţa Ionescu and Ernest Gellner (1969: 1) began their classic edited collection on populism by paraphrasing Marx and Engel’s famous opening line: ‘A Spectre is haunting the world — populism’. However, it was not quite the entire world that was being haunted in the late 1960s. Looking through the case studies in Ionescu and Gellner’s book, we find chapters on North America, Latin America, Russia, Eastern Europe and Africa, but nothing on that part of the world in which most of the contributors lived and worked: Western Europe. By contrast, the present volume focuses exclusively on that area. This reflects the fact that while the likes of Ross Perot in the United States, Preston Manning in Canada and Pauline Hanson in Australia have all attracted sporadic attention as new populist leaders, the main area of sustained populist growth and success over the last fifteen years in established democracies has been Western Europe.
