The rise of populism is a global phenomenon with regional eccentricities. How prevalent is populism within the different countries of the Indo-Pacific region and what are the geopolitical implications of the rise of populist leaders and political parties? What are the different factors that drive populism and how what are the consequences of this in national, regional, and international contexts?
Our panel of experts unpack populism within the Indo-Pacific region focusing on India, Pakistan, Japan, Korea, China, and Indonesia.
The discussion will be followed by a drink’s reception.
