Authoritarian Populism and the Rural World
Authoritarian populism is on the rise, boosted by support from rural areas.
A series of videos and articles examines how authoritarian populism has taken hold in different countries around the world, and explores the alternatives.
Rural people are sometimes stereotyped as supporters of populist and exclusionary regimes. But there are many people and movements in rural spaces that are resisting or responding to regressive, authoritarian politics.
This series was convened by the Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (ERPI), which ran a conference on ‘Authoritarian Populism And The Rural World’ in March 2018.
