| Title | A Sympathy For The Devil? Exploring Populist Attitudes In Croatia |
| Summary | This paper seeks to investigate the correlates of individual level populism in Croatia. Starting from the ideational definition of populism, this study tests how much economic grievances, socio-cultural backlash and ideational explanations of populism contribute to the description of the populist citizen in Croatia. The analysis was made using linear regressions based on survey data from 2018 and 2020 (n=1993). Results show that populism is mostly associated with authoritarianism, ideological extremism, conspiratorial thinking and institutional and interpersonal (dis)trust. In addition, the paper emphasizes the importance of operationalizing populism in accordance with the assumed structure of the concept. If we do not do this with caution, populism on an individual level will always elude us. |
