Populism is used as an umbrella term for different movements. But there is a confusion about what populism actually is.

The lecture proposes a theory of populism which identifies the political category as both anti-elitist and anti-pluralist.

Mueller devides his lecture in 4 parts:
1. The dead ends of populism
2. How to capture populism in a nutshell
3. What populism in power means
4. Unanswered issues about populism
