ABOUT BOOK

The purpose of this concluding chapter is two-fold. On the one hand, ~we want to tease out and summarize the key fi ndings of the diff erent ~chapters. What do these studies tell us, collectively? On the other hand, ~we want to extrapolate from these fi ndings and the current literature to ~off er concrete stakeholder advice to politicians, journalists, and citizens ~who are all confronted with the challenge of populist politics and populist ~messages. For discussions of the limitations of this research and future ~research directions, we refer the reader back to the conclusions of the ~individual chapters where these are discussed in detail.
