Populism’s Heartlands: Place, Identity, and Localism in Populist Politics

本项目旨在通过对澳大利亚、德国和西班牙三个与“中心地带”密不可分的民粹主义政党进行系统、比较和深入的实证研究，探讨民粹主义如何与地方主义交叉。该项目预计将产生关于民粹主义者如何利用地方主义语言以及人们对地方的依恋如何塑造他们对民粹主义者的支持的新知识。该项目的预期成果包括对民粹主义和地方主义如何相互影响的新认识;以及确定右翼和左翼民粹主义支持如何受到社区参与和参与的不同影响。好处包括确定地方干预措施，以减少排斥性民粹主义的吸引力。

This project aims to investigate how populism intersects with localism through systematic, comparative, and in-depth empirical study of three populist parties inextricably associated with ‘heartlands’ in Australia, Germany and Spain. This project expects to generate new knowledge about how populists utilise the language of localism and how people’s attachment to place shapes their support for populists. Expected outcomes of the project include a new understanding of how populism and localism affect one another; and identification of how right and left populist support are differently affected by community engagement and participation. Benefits include the identification of local interventions to lessen the appeal of exclusionary populisms.
