A la recerca del poble just Les múltiples cares del populisme israelià
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Aquest article explora les múltiples cares del populisme israelià mitjançant una anàlisi històrica de l'ús del terme poble, des de la fundació de l'Estat fins a l'actualitat. Després de discutir els diferents conceptes del populisme, s'examina la configuració del “poble” a la política israeliana entre els anys 1950 i 1980, amb especial atenció a l'hegemonia del sionisme laborista i el posterior ascens del Likud. A continuació, s'analitza la transformació del discurs populista els anys 1990 i 2000, centrada en la dreta religiosa i nacionalista, en un context de la deslegitimació creixent del laborisme israelià i l'auge del neoliberalisme global. Finalment, s'estudia la radicalització del populisme israelià a partir del 2009, amb la consolidació del lideratge de Netanyahu, l'afebliment de les institucions democràtiques i l'augment de la polarització.
