CIVICA Public Lecture | Economics of Populism and Hybrid Regimes

The lecture will present the findings from the survey of the literature on the recent rise of populism (Guriev and Papaioannou, “Political Economy of Populism”, Journal of Economic Literature, 2022) and the book on modern autocracies (Guriev and Treisman, “Spin Dictators”, Princeton University Press, 2022). We will discuss the role of economic and cultural factors, the impact of the global financial crisis and the refugee crises as well as the new communication technologies. The lecture will also provide tentative policy recommendations.
