GLOBAL ISSUES 1

概要

Populism is a product of globalisation. But where globalisation promised to expand democratisation around the world, states around the globe have seemingly fell into a trend of ‘democratic backsliding’, coinciding with a rise of ‘populist’ politics. This course considers populism’s contribution to this phenomenon and asks to what extent populism affects democratic norms. Students are encouraged to discuss the spread of populism and what it means for global politics through both ideational and institutional approaches. Key areas and issues of populism will be addressed through a mixture of partial lectures and seminar classes, and course content will cover theoretical concepts and case studies.
