🇺🇸 Donald Trump
Trump may be in political trouble. But Trump-style global populism isnt
What happened
Rising star Flávio Bolsonaro's win in Brazil's presidential election and the success of far-right parties in Germany and France are examples of Trump-style populist nationalism flourishing across the globe. Conservative governments friendly to the White House now rule in several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Chile, and Honduras. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has become a national force in Germany.
Why it matters
The global resurgence of populist nationalism has significant implications for Western democracies, as it challenges the traditional centrist politics and could lead to a shift in global politics. This trend is particularly concerning for European centrists, as far-right parties in Germany and France are gaining momentum. The success of left-wing populism in some US midterm primaries also suggests a potential counter-reaction to the rise of conservative populism.
