| Title | "We Are Facing a Grave Threat": Fujimorismo as a Case Study of Inclusionary and Exclusionary Populism in Latin America |
| Summary | This thesis analyzes the populist discourses of Alberto Fujimori and Keiko Fujimori, in Peru, to assess whether the new generation of Latin American right-wing populist leaders, of which Keiko Fujimori is a representative, professes an inclusionary or exclusionary rhetoric. To answer this research question, the work examines the historic evolution of populism in Latin America and investigates the three-dimensional concept of inclusionary/exclusionary politics advanced by Mudde and Rovira Kaltwasser (2012) to propose an operationalization of the concepts. Using this operationalization, the research concludes that, unlike Alberto Fujimori, Keiko Fujimori has an exclusionary discourse but that, despite this distinction, her populist style bears more resemblance to inclusionary Latin American populisms than to exclusionary European populisms. |
