Populism Research and the Authoritarian Threat

The international Populism Research Network based at Kiel University brings together interdisciplinary expertise from researchers in 13 countries across Europe, North and South America. Its aim is to analyse populist developments on a global scale and provide well-founded perspectives on current political dynamics. The lecture offers insights into key research questions and ongoing projects within the network and highlights its role in academic exchange as well as in transferring knowledge to society.
