The approaches used in chapters in Giusto, Kitching and Rizzo’s edited volume, such as evaluating leadership discourse and media influence, are . . . convincing methods to determine if a political party could rightly be characterised as populist or not. . . .[The book] provides good examples describing the importance of leadership and the media in other Europeans contexts. . . .This edited book succeeds in providing valuable accounts of plausible and fully fledged populist projects in Europe and the United States.
