Recently, Geert Wilders, an anti-Islam, far-right populist, won the general elections in the Netherlands. In Argentina, the far-right politician, Javier Milei, won the presidential elections. In 2022, Marine Le Pen finished a close second in the French presidential elections; and a party with roots in the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement won the general elections in Italy.

Is right-wing populism seeing a resurgence across the world?  Irfan Nooruddin and Rahul Mukherji discuss the question in a conversation moderated by Radhika Santhanam.
