Populist Left-Wing Foreign Policy: The Case Of Kirchnerism In Argentina

Abstract

This article addresses the issue of populist foreign policy in Argentina and employs a multi-methods research that combines discourse analysis, fore-ign policy analysis, and historical political reconstruction of Kirchnerism. Theoretically, we refer to populism as an “Ideational Approach” and we consider Destradi and Plegaman’s thematic lines in order to investigate populism in world politics. Throughout the paper, we argue that left-wing populist foreign policy does not discriminate against international coope-ration and globalization per se but in a Manichean vision of the world, it criticizes western rich countries, and proposes the creation of new regio-nal alliances.

La in Ame ica has always been seen as a pionee in he eme gence

On he o he side, au ho s such as Mudde (Mudde); S anley (S an-

i a Kal wasse ); see populism as an ideological phenomenon ocused
on a se o ideas cha ac e ized by an an agonism be ween people and
eli e, whe e he o me holds so e eign y and he la e co up ion. In
hei pe spec i e, populism needs hick ideologies such as libe alism
o socialism o make sense o hei go e nmen p og ams. This is he
eason why igh -wing o le -wing populism can exis .
Mudde and Ro i a Kal wasse (Mudde & Ro i a Kal wasse ,
2017) a gue ha i is easible o c ea e a “de ini ion ha is able o ac-
cu a ely cap u e he co e o all majo pas and p esen mani es a ions
o populism, while s ill p ecise enough o exclude clea ly non-populis
phenomena”. In ecen decades, a numbe o social scien is s ha e
chosen o de ine populism as an “idea ional app oach” by concei ing
i as a discou se, an ideology o a way o concei ing he wo ld. Fa
om eaching a consensus on he p ecise de ini ion o he populis
phenomenon (especially in language and pe iphe al elemen s), he
“idea ional app oach” managed o sha e a numbe o key elemen s
wi hin he di e en de ini ions such as he e e ence o a “people”
denouncing he exis ence o an “eli e”. (Mudde & Ro i a Kal wasse ,
2017).
De ining populism as a “ hin-cen e ed ideology” is use ul in o de
o unde s and “ he o -alleged malleabili y o he concep in ques-
ion” (Mudde & Ro i a Kal wasse , 2017). The au ho s unde s and
ideology as a se o no ma i e ideas abou he na u e o man and so-
cie y as well as o ganiza ions and hei objec i es. In simple wo ds,
“i is a iew o how he wo ld is and should be” (Mudde & Ro i a
31
POPULIST LEFT-WING FOREIGN POLICY: THE CASE OF KIRCHNERISM IN ARGENTINA
Kal wasse , 2017). Unlike “ ull ideologies” (socialism, libe alism and
ascism among o he s), he au ho s said, “ hin- cen e ed ideology”
like populism has a es ic ed mo phology ha , in mos cases, mus
be accompanied by a “ ull ideology” ha comple es i and allows o
p omo e conc e e poli ical p ojec s. The e o e, “by i sel populism
can o e nei he complex no comp ehensi e answe s o he poli ical

Acco ding o he au ho s, his way o de ining populism allows i
o ake di e en o ms ha a e consis en in he way he key elemen s
o populism appea o ela e o o he concep s, “ o ming in e p e a-
i e ames ha migh be mo e o less appealing o di e en socie ies”
(Mudde & Ro i a Kal wasse , 2017).
The plu ali y o de ini ions on populism gi es an idea o he ex en-

S a e. Wi hin hese ac i i ies ha o o eign policy is c ucial o pin-

They unde s and o eign policy gene ally as “ he in en ions and ac-

In his case, and o make i clea om he beginning, i is unde -
s ood ha o eign policy is exclusi e o so e eign s a es and only hey
