The Populist Challenge to Political Legitimacy: A Crisis of Social Validation
This article argues that the challenges to political legitimacy currently encountered by liberal democracies affected by populist anti-centrism imply a crisis of theoretical understanding. This is because the competing claims made by recent and contemporary political thinkers reflect common underlying assumptions that put them radically at odds with the perspectives of at least some of those now embracing political populism. As a consequence, the latter find themselves excluded from any justifications for preferring certain sorts of political institution – such as liberal-democratic ones – over others.

Populistyczne wyzwanie dla legitymizacji politycznej:
kryzys uprawomocnienia
Artykuł argumentuje, że wyzwania dla legitymizacji politycznej, z którymi mierzą się obecnie liberalne demokracje dotknięte populistycznym anty-centryzmem, pociągają za sobą kryzys w teorii politycznej. Wynika to stąd, że rywalizujące ze sobą twierdzenia współczesnych myślicieli politycznych odwołują się do wspólnych założeń, które stoją w radykalnym konflikcie z punktami widzenia przynajmniej niektórych dzisiejszych zwolenników populizmu politycznego. W konsekwencji ci ostatni nie mogą utożsamić się z żadnymi uzasadnieniami na rzecz preferowania pewnych rodzajów instytucji politycznych, np. liberalno-demokratycznych.
