Résumé anglais Populism and nationalism, Guy Hermet. As of late 18th century, nation and people have been used synonymously by the founders of today's representative regimes. Populism and nationalism are the outgrowths of these two terms, and their marriage, that the French revolutionaries saw to during the founding period of political modernity, has remained valid throughout the 20th c. There were three different types of populism in Europe in the 1930s in which the expressions of ethnically-based national-populism cannot be reduced to the phenomenon of Nazism alone: the first was an additive of political discourse to foment the people's wrath ; the second, carried by in- tellectuals, proposed the political promotion of the humiliated masses by means they laid claim to; and the third one focussed on the real or imagined ethnic solidarity of an old-stock population. Added to these were the North and South-American populisms, whose study shows to what point the desire to control the political intervention of the masses was the unifying element of a generic national-populism.
