This article examines the populist turn through the lens of changing social policy by relating this to the question of whether or not conservative and far‐right populism represent a break from, or a new mutation of, neoliberalism. Does this shift represent a conservative Polanyian double movement, or a mutation and extension of neoliberalism? This question is examined through a brief account of neoliberalism's failures, both before and after 2008, and how conservative populism challenged it, particularly around the question of liberal social policy. In then defining and discussing neoliberalism, the article shows how conservative populism in some respects challenges it, through its focus on re‐politicization in the face of technocratic and economistic de‐politicization and disenchantment. But the article then demonstrates important similarities and continuities in both neoliberal theory and populist practice.

评估保守的民粹主义：新的双重运动还是新自由主义的民粹主义？

本文通过将社会政策的变化与保守和极右翼的民粹主义是否代表着新自由主义的突破或新变迁的问题联系起来，考察了民粹主义通过改变社会政策的视角。这种转变代表保守的波兰尼式双重运动，还是新自由主义的突变和延伸？通过简要介绍新自由主义在2008年前和之后的失败以及保守主义民粹主义如何挑战新自由主义，特别是围绕自由社会政策问题，来研究这个问题。在随后对新自由主义的定义和讨论中，文章通过面对技术官僚主义和经济去政治化和解体主义的重新政治化，展示了保守主义民粹主义在某些方面如何挑战它。
