Abstract
This paper proposes a statistical model for identifying which con-texts favour the growth of populism in European democracies byanalysing the relationship between the Human DevelopmentIndex (HDI) and the Corruption Perception Index (CPI). With theaid of United Nations (UN), Transparency InternationalOrganization and Institute for Global Change data for the years2013-2017, and after applying statistical convergence, our studyidentifies different clusters of European democracies where popu-lism has grown after serious episodes of social conflict in thewake of one of the most important financial and economic crisesin recent history. The study’s findings provide new insights whichhelp to identify weaknesses in democracies where populist partiescould grow.
