BIZBERG, Ilán. The Fall of the Wall: From the Hope of a More Democratic World to the Reality of Friend-Enemy Politics. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2020, vol.65, n.238, pp.259-272. Epub 05-Fev-2021. ISSN 0185-1918. https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2020.238.71979.
The fall of the Berlin Wall was received as the signal that the world would embrace both capitalism, which had defeated communism, and democracy, which had overpowered totalitarianism. However, following the fall of the wall several transformations (geopolitical, ideological and technological) affected the way of conducting politics in most countries of the world. The most direct consequence of these phenomena was the emergence of a political form that has been ambiguously termed “populist.” The main argument of this article is that the current political forms are truly original and that we are incorrectly using a concept that has been recycled from the past for a new phenomenon because we do not yet have a name for it.
