Populism on the World Stage.

What is the relationship between domestic populism and international role conceptions? Populism, typically conceived as an anti-establishment national movement, reacts to and spills over into the global arena. In the case of the United States, candidate Donald Trump spoke to a portion of the electorate that was hostile to globalization, tired of wars in the name of democracy, human rights or humanitarian compassion, and angry in general at the establishment. As president, his international role has been that of an iconoclast who rejects the norms of diplomacy, the legitimacy of established institutions, and the ideal of a Western liberal order. Populism is transgressive. Around the world, movements in the name of the people have led to authoritarian policies that undermine democracy, human rights and freedoms. The most powerful nation has taken the role of iconoclast, suggesting change in the system itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
