Abstract
It is our aim to map out the state of knowledge on populism and populist communication in the Czech Republic, which will hopefully also serve as a springboard for further academic explorations in this undoubtedly topical area of enquiry - particularly given the recent developments on the Czech political scene which suggest populism will be a significant force to count with in the foreseeable future. The chapter first gives a brief overview of the historical context of political populism in the country, and then proceeds with the review of available literature on populist parties and actors, followed by an outline of their communication strategies and media representations.
