Populism has become a popular notion in both France and Japan to describe a new kind of demagogue who successfully participates in the competition for votes shaped by democratic structures. This strategy may combine a high degree of personalization with a simplification of the political message that seeks to mobilize the people against the elites by playing on increasing political distrust. However, rather than seeing populism as the emergence of isolated and unusual politicians, this presentation aims to consider how its rise is symptomatic of structural changes in both countries. An analysis of the 2017 elections will help us understand the differences and similarities between French and Japanese-style populism.
