Abstract

Populism is a complex and multifaceted political phenomenon with varying interpretations regarding its significance in contemporary times. The general objective of this research was to comprehend how populism was addressed in political analyses between 2018 and 2022, considering the rise of leaders such as Trump and Bolsonaro, and its implications for democracies. The research adopted a bibliographic approach, conducting a literature review on contemporary populism between 2018 and 2020. Additionally, representative case studies from different national and international contexts were analyzed to identify concepts and analytical categories. The results revealed that, despite contextual differences, Trump and Bolsonaro shared populist traits such as direct communication, discontent with the establishment, and nationalist policies. The analysis also highlighted challenges for democracies but emphasized the resilience of political systems in the face of these challenges. It is concluded that populism is a multifaceted political phenomenon subject to variations depending on the context. The importance of understanding the roots of popular discontent and the need for inclusive communication strategies are emphasized. The study aims to promote informed discussions and public policies that strengthen more robust and inclusive political systems in the face of contemporary manifestations of populism.
