摘要

This chapter explores the upsurge of Populist Radical Right (PRR)challenges to the liberal international order during the last decade. After conceptualizing the liberal international order, the chapter considers the impact of an external challenge from the Putin regime in Moscow; thethreats within this order following the Brexit referendum in the UK and the election victory of Donald Trump’s ‘America First’ Republican party in 2016; and the apparent convergence of these internal and external threats. Such challenges indicate that the current PPR wave is symptomatic of deeper structural shifts in the evolution of the liberal order since the 1980s and unless the underlying causes – the downsides of globalization – are directly addressed within liberal democratic political systems the PRR resurgence is unlikely to fade anytime soon.
