Abstract

Populism is one of those problematic notions that have no single and correct interpretation; rather there are mainstream and controversial ways to use them. Nowadays, so-called populism can be understood as a reaction of the populations rooted in their states to globalization processes and to changes in the ideological profile of Western establishment parties. The phenomenon is examined in the case of today's Germany, with its “Alternative for Germany” and the “Stand Up” movement. Comparative analysis of political programs shows that there are many similarities between right and left populisms on a number of substantive issues. Both have anti-globalization attitudes, are dissatisfied with political elites and point to the dangers of social stratification.
