Populism and polarization have become global phenomena, affecting a large number of political systems across five continents. Although some positive effects could be pointed out, in most cases populism and high levels of polarization have negative consequences for democratic institutions, their quality, and the democratic attitudes held by citizens. These phenomena are present in many of the autocratization tendencies recent and more institutionalized democracies are suffering. The plenary will analyze these trends and how they can be resisted and reversed. The participants, renowned experts in the field, will present both theoretical contributions as well as empirical case studies on these significant trends.
