Are Populists Changing World Politics?

Join us for “Are Populists Changing World Politics? A Workshop on Populism and Foreign Policy”, co-hosted by the NYU Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia and the NYU Center for European and Mediterranean Studies (CEMS), and organized by Jordan Center Visiting Scholar Dr. Emily Holland and CEMS Faculty Fellow Dr. Hadas Aron.
Populists mobilize against elites, protest against globalism, and employ belligerent rhetoric. As a result, academic and popular media associate populist leaders with international belligerence, a shift in networks towards other populist states, and protectionist economic measures. This workshop aims to bring together leading scholars of populism and foreign policy to discuss the impact the rise of populism has had on international relations, the role of individual populist leaders, and the role of Russia as an ideological model of leadership for populists.
