Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Populist parties often engage in corporatism, a political ideology which advocates the organization of society by corporate groups, such as agricultural, labor, military, scientific, or guild associations. In the context of labor unions, this means that populist parties might incorporate unions into the political process in a controlled manner, rather than allowing them full independence or repressing them entirely. This approach can lead to a situation where unions are somewhat integrated into the state's mechanisms or into the party's political strategy, rather than being fully independent entities or being repressed.
