MAPPING POPULISM – A KEYWORDS ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Populism, Keywords Analysis, Scientometrics, Scopus, VOSviewerAbstract
The notion of populism is fraught with different meanings and definitions. In this paper, we tried to determine the context of its use in scientific journals. In particular, we devoted our attention to the analysis of (author) keywords. Our research was limited to articles and reviews from 2001 to 2018, in which the (author) keyword “populism” occurred. All data were derived from the Scopus database of metadata. The analysis was carried out using the VOSviewer software, which enables visual display and analysis of scientometric data. Our analysis showed that, in the stated period, much more attention was paid to the phenomenon of 'right' in relation to 'left' populism. The point of interest of the authors was mainly concentrated on the countries of Europe and (North and South) America. The term 'populism' is in a strong relationship (the high frequency of common occurrence of terms) with the terms 'democracy', 'nationalism' and 'neoliberalism'.
