| Title | Contemporary Populism: Comparative Analysis of Belarus and Venezuela |
| Summary | The rise of populist politics in both Latin America and Eastern Europe at the end of XX – beginning of XXI centuries is evident; however, researchers did not do much comparative analysis of the two continents in general and specific states in particular focusing mainly on Latin America or one-country study. This paper aims at comparing populism in Belarus and Venezuela and investigating whether two states experience similar populist policies. For the purpose of this research populism is defined in political terms, nevertheless, socioeconomic dimension is also analyzed. Based on the results of the analysis, the paper concludes that Belarusian and Venezuelan presidents employ the same populist strategies to come and remain in power, and that the theory of populism can be applied to different states in different parts of the world. |
