Ernesto Laclau
Ernesto Laclau was an Argentine political theorist and sociologist whose work focused on populism and its role in politics. He is best known for his seminal book 'La Razón Populista', where he argues that populism is not merely a pathological phenomenon but a legitimate political strategy that articulates the demands of marginalized groups against established elites. Laclau's theories have shaped contemporary understandings of populism across various ideological contexts.
