A rising tide of populism is sweeping the globe. Political ideologies that were earlier seen as fringe dogmas in the Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, the UK and the US and even in Asia, are now very visible on the political landscape. Mainstream politics in the UK and the US is arguably turning anti-global, and there is a growing distrust of elites, exemplified most strikingly in UK’s vote to leave the European Union.
The Centre for Policy Research and the JustJobs Network is hosting a discussion on this phenomenon, with Bruce Stokes, Director of Global Economic Attitudes at Pew Research Center and member of the JustJobs Network Advisory Group. He will focus on the threads that link populist leaders and consider the role of economic insecurity, inequality, and hitherto latent attitudes in fueling their rise.
