International Dimensions and Effects of Populism
IDEoPOP is a Doctoral Network funded by the EU's Horizon Europe – Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Actions that studies how populism intersects with both domestic and international politics. It focuses on understanding how populist ideas, leaders, and movements influence world politics and foreign policy, a dimension that remains underexplored in the literature.
