CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF POPULISM CONSIDERING THE CURRENT TRENDS IN GLOBALIZATION – Aneesh Singh

Abstract

This essay rigorously dissects populism in the context of current globalization trends. Populism has emerged as a potent political force in recent times, disrupting established democratic institutions and norms worldwide. Concurrently, globalization has continued to shape the interdependence of economies, cultures, and civilizations, presenting global nations with both opportunities and challenges. The study delves into the intricate connection between globalization and populism. Globalization has fostered economic expansion and cultural exchange, but it has also triggered disruptions and dislocations, which have contributed to social unrest and grievances that populists often exploit. The research elucidates how globalization processes intersect with populist agendas, either amplifying or diminishing their appeal, through the examination of case studies from diverse locations, such as the rise of populist leaders in Europe, America, and Asia.

Additionally, in an era of growing interconnectedness, the article assesses the consequences of populist movements for political stability, democratic governance, and international cooperation. It examines how populist politicians handle international issues, including trade, immigration, and climate change,and the effects of their policies on local and global politics. The study concludes by providing insights into possible approaches for resolving populism’s root problems while maximising the advantages of globalisation. It highlights how crucial it is to have inclusive economic policies, foster social cohesion, and fortify democratic institutions to thwart populist narratives and advance sustainable development in an increasingly interconnected globe.
