Peron, Salazar, and the Genesis of Right-Wing Populism

Jack Deeney

My project seeks to answer the question of whether or not Right-Wing Populism, a political phenomenon that has recieved considerable media attention in recent years, is a coherent political ideology. I argue that it is and to better understand it it is useful to examine the political thought of Argentinian ruler Juan Peron and Portueguese Ruler Antonio Salazar, who I theorize to be the first Right-Wing Populists.
