This volume is the first to analyze populism's international dimension: its impact on, and interaction with, foreign policy and international politics. The contributions to this volume engage conceptual theoretical issues and overarching questions such as the still under-specified concept of populism or the importance of leadership and the mass media for populism's global rise. They zoom in on populism's effect on both different countries' foreign policies and core international concerns, including the future of the liberal world order and the chances for international conflict and cooperation more generally.

First book-length treatment of populism from an International Relations (IR) perspective Discusses what populism means for world politics (including foreign policy, global governance, international conflict and cooperation, security communities, regional and world order, etc.) Addresses the question, how does the global rise of populism (Moffitt 2016) manifest itself in foreign policy and international politics?
