This article examines what McKnight (2018) refers to as “progressive
populism” and argues that the rise of progressive populism in contemporary
western democratic societies is directly related to the emergence
of neoliberal governance regimes and the rise of global corporate power.
Utilizing insights from both scholarly literature and popular commentary it
outlines the rising counter assault by global corporations and governments
since the 1960s to reverse and impede the increase of democratic rights for
previously marginalized sections of many western democratic societies. It is
crucial not to dismiss the power of global corporations and the rise of neoliberalism
at the expense of the collective security of societies as just another
form of elitism attacked by ordinary people. Corporations want freedom
from democracy by usurping capitalist economic systems. They represent a
disfiguration of representative democratic principles that culminates in paradoxes
of liberty that progressive populists are contesting.
期刊介绍：
Democratic Theory is a peer-reviewed journal published and distributed by Berghahn. It encourages philosophical and interdisciplinary contributions that critically explore democratic theory—in all its forms. Spanning a range of views, the journal offers a cross-disciplinary forum for diverse theoretical questions to be put forward and systematically examined. It advances non-Western as well as Western ideas and is actively based on the premise that there are many forms of democracies and many types of democrats. As a forum for debate, the journal challenges theorists to ask and answer the perennial questions that plague the field of democratization studies: Why is democracy so prominent in the world today? What is the meaning of democracy? Will democracy continue to expand? Are current forms of democracy sufficient to give voice to “the people” in an increasingly fragmented and divided world? Who leads in democracy? What types of non-Western democratic theories are there? Should democrats always defend democracy? Should democrats be fearful of de-democratization, post-democracies, and the rise of hybridized regimes?
