    Anti-populist coups d’état in the twenty-first century: reasons, dynamics and consequences
    (Taylor & Francis, 2021) Sinan Baykan, Toygar; Gürsoy, Yaprak; Ostiguy, Pierre
    There is a burgeoning literature on how to deal with populism in advanced liberal democracies, which puts a strong emphasis on legalist and pluralist methods. There is also a new and expanding literature that looks at the consequences of coups d’état for democracies by employing large-N data sets. These two recent literatures, however, do not speak to one another, based on the underlying assumption that coups against populists were a distinctly twentieth-century Latin American phenomenon. Yet the cases of Venezuela in 2002, Thailand in 2006 and Turkey in 2016 show that anti-populist coups have also occurred in the twenty-first century. Focussing on these cases, the article enquires about the extent to which military coups succeed against populists. The main finding is that although anti-populist coups may initially take over the government, populism survives in the long run. Thus, anti-populist coups fail in their own terms and they do not succeed in eradicating populism. In fact, in the aftermath of a coup, populism gains further legitimacy against what it calls repressive elites, while possibilities for democratisation are further eroded. This is because populists tap into existing socio-cultural divides and politically mobilise the hitherto underrepresented sectors in their societies that endure military interventions.

    Cualquier patipelao se siente con derecho a insultar a quienes trabajan en el servicio público: Debates y tensiones en torno a la dieta parlamentaria en Chile, 1924-2021
    (Universidad Adolfo Ibañez, 2022) Barría Traverso, Diego; Ostiguy, Pierre; Ahumada, Daniel; Poblete, Aldo
    En 2014, un grupo de jóvenes diputados propuso reducir en un 50% la dieta parlamentaria en Chile. Con esta iniciativa se buscaba solucionar problemas de legitimidad derivados de los altos ingresos de los congresistas en un contexto de alta desigualdad. La literatura, generalmente, señala que la dieta parlamentaria es un requisito para la ampliación democrática, pues permite que personas que no tienen otros ingresos (e.g., rentas o inversiones) que los provenientes del trabajo diario puedan ejercer la función representativa en el Congreso. Sin embargo, la ciencia política no se ha detenido a estudiar en detalle que la dieta parlamentaria no es siempre vista como un instrumento capaz de mejorar la calidad de la representación política, sino a veces como una fuente de conflicto político, especialmente cuando se trata de magnitud relativa. Este artículo busca analizar esta arista, a partir de un estudio de los debates que la dieta, y especialmente su monto, ha generado en la sociedad chilena entre 1924 y 2021. Se sostiene que, en un plazo de 90 años, la dieta pasó de ser considerada como un instrumento útil para incorporar nuevos sectores sociales a la vida política a ser visto como uno que genera una distorsión de la representación al dotar a los parlamentarios de un nivel de vida que los coloca dentro de una muy selecta minoría de personas con altos ingresos.|

    The Voice and Message of Hugo Chávez: A Rhetorical Analysis
    (Springer, 2022) Ostiguy, Pierre
    Hugo Chávez is one of the most emblematic populist leaders of the 21st century, particularly in left-wing populism. Oddly, there has been little academic analysis of his populist rhetoric and remarkable political performative style, so effective with his public. This chapter conducts an inductive, evidence-based discursive (and ideational) analysis, identifying and illustrating in four sections the characteristic hallmarks of Chavez’ populist rhetoric. First, Hugo Chávez was a master of “the low”: uninhibited, coarse, sophisticatedly vulgar, with a skill for incisive ad hominem insults, together with a discursive emphases on the “from here” and persona-based political leadership. The chapter then delves into his trademark performative mode, with its epic register, purposeful graphic exaggerations, folk poetry, and singing to relate to his public, highlighting his actio. Third, the chapter brings forth the peculiar logic of Chávez’ rhetoric, on purpose equating rather different political terms, the widespread political use of metonymy, and a “re-arranged” narrative of Venezuelan history bridging Bolívar’s time (and project) with his. Finally, the chapter draws attention to the—surprisingly unnoticed—deeply religious rhetoric of Chávez. In the process, the chapter critically revisits Anderson’s notion of prophetic time, returning to Benjamin’s notion of Messianic time for Chávez’ redemptive politics and to Auerbach’ Christian “figural interpretation” for Chávez’ announced revolution. Rather than proceeding in a conceptually top-down manner as many “ideational” scholars of populism have done, the chapter attends closely to what über populist Hugo Chávez was actually saying, and how.
