Notes
1 Rare references to populism in peacebuilding literature include the emergence of populist leaders in the aftermath of the Dayton Peace Accords in the former Yugoslavia (Franks & Richmond 2008; Merdzanovic 2017), and limited treatment of how the populist party Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) derailed Sri Lanka peace talks with the Tamil Tigers (Hill 2013).
2 Cas Mudde defines populism as, ‘a thin-centred ideology that considers society to be ultimately separated into two homogeneous and antagonistic groups, “the pure people” and “the corrupt elite”, and which argues that politics should be an expression of the volonté générale (general will) of the people’ (Mudde Citation2007, 23, emphasis original).
