The four reviewed books belong among the most influential contemporary contributions to theories of populism. Approaches described by authors are different, and together they do not provide a coherent view of defining features of populism. Moreover, they remain in disagreement on whether to evaluate populism as a threat or deepening of democracy. To overcome such a difference of opinions, I propose to focus more on the role of populistic representation instead of defining features of populism. In addition, I suggest applying a populistic style approach that provides a helpful description of populism since it outlines populism as a useful and valuable concept when describing contemporary political changes and does not understand it necessarily as a democracy’s dead-end.
