The Theoretical Connection and Confluence of Populism and Nationalism
Nationalism and populism are two radical ideologies capable of restructuring political structures and resetting power relations.The former has been associated with state construction since its birth.It is an ideological force that drives the formation of modern states.The latter emerged much later as a political expression that formed internally due to public dissatisfaction in the country.After entering the 21st century,there has been an increasingly clear convergence of nationalism and populism in the West.As highly appealing popular political trends,nationalism pursues the distinction between internal and external ethnic groups while populism emphasizes the separation between the people and the elites.The mobilization structures of the two ideologies have begun to intersect due to similarities between their campaign languages,merging of adversarial targets,and convergence of their political spectrums.The confluence of populism and nationalism is essentially the result of two political trends with different historical paths connecting through core values and overlapping structures.
