Abstract / Description
Once considered exclusively a phenomenon of domestic politics, populism today attracts a strong interest from scholars of international relations and foreign policy. This chapter provides an overview of this literature and explores new avenues of research. It argues that the debate over the impact of populism on international relations has been influenced too much and for too long by the importation in IR and FPA of mainstream approaches on populism from comparative politics, and by an overtly West-centric perspective. The chapter develops in contrast a strategic-discursive conceptualization of populism that paints a more critical picture of populism’s promises of popular emancipation and its relationship with state power and the international order. The chapter demonstrates its argument with a cross-regional comparative probe, placing Asian populism in a global context.
