Ontological security has become a distinctive and dominant issue in European studies, partly due to the rise of illiberal and populist movements, and European pursuits and security dilemmas have permeated many political polemics and debates. Exploring this issue, the paper tackles the origins and transformations of ontological security in Europe to some extent. The study first broaches the theoretical repercussions of ontological security, with a view to examining its relation to anxiety, indifference and fear. The second section focuses on a particular chapter in Western European history that is characterized by indifference to politics and political institutions. The final chapter refers to unease and angst that certain segments of European societies have experienced following the economic recession, as well as culture and identity crises. In light of these discussions, the article aims to explore the nature of relationship between ontological concerns and certain movements labelled as populist, extremist or ultra-nationalist. In the study, the idea that there is a strong link between populist movements and ontological security is emphasized.
