ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of work published under the auspices of ERPI, which remains somewhat elusive as a coherent intellectual and political project. I comment on several matters including lack of distinction between the ‘agrarian’ and the ‘rural’, issues of (spatial) scale and temporality and of identifying agrarian and rural classes, the costs as well as possible benefits of embracing the ambiguities of populism, and instances of ‘resistance’ to ‘authoritarian populism’ that are reported and proposed. The overall conclusion is that ERPI requires a more consistent, sharper and fuller class-based approach.

解开“威权民粹主义”和农村政治：对 ERPI 的一些评论

摘要 本文概述了在 ERPI 主持下发表的工作，作为一个连贯的知识和政治项目，它仍然有些难以捉摸。我评论了几个问题，包括“农业”和“农村”之间缺乏区分、（空间）规模和时间问题以及识别农业和农村阶级的问题，接受民粹主义模糊性的成本和可能的好处，以及报道和提议的“抵抗”“威权民粹主义”的实例。总体结论是 ERPI 需要更一致、更清晰和更全面的基于类的方法。
