Very relevant read for our #IDEoPOP network on the relationship between populism and regionalism. In this article, @dwajner.bsky.social explores how populists engage in regional cooperation. It was very interesting to read it!
My piece proposing a typology of populist regionalism has finally found a home!
Published in @jei-publication.bsky.social (47, 8), it examines how populists manage regional integration once in power, identifying four distinct pathways.

One of the challenges that #IDEoPOP researchers face is the classification of populism. This newly published project offers a very relevant categorisation of populist political parties in Europe. It will surely inspire our PIs and PhD candidates!
