Abstract
The political practice of populism has long existed in Europe, in recent years, the concept of populism has received increasing attention and it has frequently appeared on the political stage in various European countries. Populism is especially popular and typical in Italy, while problems also emerge with different forms. Whats more, this ideology always appears as a discourse of two opposing groups. The paper explores the development of populism in Italy, its impact on Italy and Europe as a whole by using a case study of Italian populist political parties and adopting Cas Mudde's definition of populism. As a result, populism could be illustrated as a tool for regulating the European society when there is a democratic imbalance. In the end, we can find the pattern of populism, try to predict its future development and its effects in different spheres in Europe, and then gain some awareness of the predicament of European society.
