Nationalism, Race, and American Party Politics | Leonie Huddy
Listen now
Description
Since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, a party once based on free markets and multilateralism pivoted to a more nationalistic approach to immigration, trade, and military alliances. In this episode, Leonie Huddy discusses how - despite the fact nationalist sentiment has declined in the US over the last 20 years - a mix of political opportunism and economic conditions have led to the adoption of nationalist policies by the GOP. Leonie's paper, The Rise of Populism in the USA: Nationalism, race, and American Party Politics,  can be found here: https://cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/you.stonybrook.edu/dist/f/1052/files/2021/05/Huddy-and-Del-Ponte-The-rise-of-populism.pdf For a summary of this episode and other issues of the day, sign up for YDHTY's weekly newsletter at https://www.ydhty.com/news
