Seminar on Democracy: Past, Present, and Future Populism After Trump

Date: 

Thursday, March 4, 2021, 12:30pm to 2:00pm

Location: 

Zoom (RSVP Required)

Does the defeat of Donald Trump in the 2020 election signal the end of populism globally? While some populist leaders, such as Viktor Orbán in Hungary and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, felt emboldened by Trump's presidency, other populist and right-wing movements, including those in France and Germany, were independent of his leadership and remain largely unaffected by his defeat. This seminar will explore the future of populism in Europe, Latin America, and the United States and assess if their fortunes will wax or wane.
