在关于希腊危机的广泛辩论中，“民粹主义民主”理论认为民粹主义是维持希腊政治制度的根本，也是希腊国内普遍存在的弱点的核心。本文通过对2009年至2011年期间希腊议会五党领导人的演讲进行复杂的框架分析，实证检验了这一假设。调查结果证实，民粹主义：（a）通过政治行为者的叙述表达;（B）在整个政党系统中观察到;（c）以推卸责任和排他性的形式表达;（d）根据在政党系统中的地位而有所不同。本文通过测试和构建民主民粹主义理论，提供了一种衡量和操作民粹主义的新方法，并确定了区分主流和边缘民粹主义的新类型，从而有助于辩论。
Within the broader debate on the Greek crisis, the theory of "populist democracy' postulates that populism is fundamental to the sustenance of the Greek political system and is at the heart of Greece's endemic domestic weaknesses. This article tests this assumption empirically through the use of a sophisticated framing analysis of speeches delivered by the leaders of the five parties in the Greek parliament in the period 2009-11. The findings confirm that populism: (a) is expressed through the narratives of political actors; (b) is observed across the party system; (c) is expressed in the forms of blame-shifting and exclusivity; and (d) differs depending on position in the party system. The article contributes to the debate by testing and building on the theory of democratic populism, providing a novel way of measuring and operationalizing populism and identifying a new typology that distinguishes between mainstream and fringe populism.
