RETAMOZO, Martín. The political theory of populism: uses and debates in Latin America in post-foundational perspective. Latinoamérica [online]. 2017, n.64, pp.125-151. ISSN 2448-6914.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cialc.24486914e.2017.64.56836.

The term Populism, as a concept, has been widely used and debated in the field of social sciences, especially in Latin American studies. In recent years, Ernesto Laclau developed a theory about populism that aroused the interest of different researchers around the Latin American region (and around the world too). This article proposes a study regarding critiques that Latin American theorists made of Laclau ‘s theory within the paradigm of post-foundational political theory.

Keywords : Populism; Ernesto Laclau; Political theory; Latin American studies.
