The Global Turn: Illiberalism and the Global South

The Global Turn: Illiberalism and the Global South initiative focuses on the local and transnational political dynamics shaping the regions of the world often excluded from discussions on liberal democratic retreat and emerging illiberalism. From the both right and left-wing illiberalism of Latin American societies and leaders, to the vibrant political contestations and transformations in Africa and South East Asia, to the ideological underpinnings of China’s grand strategy, the series maps the diverse ways in which ideology, political realities, and historical legacies contribute to rapidly evolving dynamics that sometimes challenge and other times transform liberal democratic norms.
