In many countries and regions across the world populist movements and leaders have gained influence. Fuelled by growing disillusionment with democracy, populists have challenged the legitimacy of democratic institutions and sometimes actively weakened them.

The symposium invites experts from across the School to explore the interaction between economic and cultural explanations of the current populist surge, its social, political and economic outcomes as well as potential policy responses.
