Recent events — Brexit, the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, and the wave of populism in Central and Eastern Europe — raised a number of important questions about the nature and political prospects of modern populism.
How can one explain the emergence of populist leaders in the U.S. and European countries? What are the similarities and differences in these trends in the United States and Europe? How does the Russian case relate to them?
Maria Snegovaya, an Adjunct Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, and Andrey Kortunov, Russian International Affairs Council Director General, made reports at the round table.
