The Times and Spaces of Right Populism: From Paris to Toronto
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Our focus is on the current manifestations and the historic and geographical formation of the organizations, ideologies, think tanks, intellectuals and governing regimes of political parties that we would characterize as rightwing or authoritarian populist. In France, this is the FN and hard-right populist currents in the UMP and, prior to 2002, its predecessor organization, the Rally for the Republic (Rassemblement pour la Republique – RPR). In Canada, this is a focus on the Reform Party, right-populist currents in the Progressive Conservative Party, and, after 2003, the new Conservative Party of Canada which united the two. In deploying the language of authoritarian populism, our intention is not to lose sight of the specifically fascist elements one may find within the wider orbit of hard-right populism. Nor is it our goal to echo liberal bourgeois intellectuals and pundits, for whom ‘populism’ can be a convenient term to dismiss left challenges to neoliberal orthodoxies by equating them with fascist or ultra-right forces.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
