Acknowledgements

This book emerged from a conference in the series “Political discourse: Multidisciplinary Approaches”. The conference themed as “New Discourses of Populism and Nationalism” took place at Edinburgh Napier University from 21–22 June 2018 and was kindly supported by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, Brussels office. I am very much indebted to my co-organiser Veronika Koller for her much appreciated meticulous organizational skills, and to Edinburgh Napier’s outreach officer Dawn Smith, as well as Ada-Charlotte Regelmann from the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation for their enthusiastic support in organizing a public World Café event on populism and nationalism at the conference. I would also like to thank the scientific committee of the conference who were mainly recruited from my colleagues and friends in DiscourseNet.
