近年来，民粹主义现象及其与现代民主的关系受到了相当大的关注。本文旨在增进我们对民粹主义如何影响不同民主模式的理解，并对所提出的论点进行实证检验。基于大量关于民粹主义和民主的学术文献，我们评估了现有的论点，并对哪些民主模式可能会受到民粹主义的积极或消极影响进行理论推导。此外，我们超越了规范性辩论，通过经验分析了民粹主义执政对不同民主模式的影响。为此，我们将1995年至今欧洲和拉丁美洲民粹主义政府的数据与各种民主数据集合并在一起，这使我们能够捕捉这些地区民粹主义和不同民主模式之间的关系。尽管人们对民粹主义的预期褒贬不一，但我们的结果表明，民粹主义对民主的选举、自由和协商模式产生了相当负面的影响。
The phenomenon of populism and its relationship with modern democracy has gained considerable attention in recent years. This article aims at advancing our understanding of how populism affects different models of democracy and tests the proposed arguments empirically. Building on a large scholarly literature on populism and democracy, we take stock of existing arguments and theorize which democratic models may be affected by populism in a positive or negative way. Moreover, we move beyond the normative debate and analyse the effect of populism in power on different models of democracy empirically. We do so by merging data on populist governments in Europe and Latin America from 1995 until today with the Varieties of Democracy dataset, which enables us to capture the relationship between populism and different democratic models in these regions. Despite mixed‐theoretical expectations, our results suggest a rather negative impact of populism on the electoral, liberal and deliberative models of democracy.
