The Global Retreat of the Regulatory State? Populism & the Future of Regulatory Governance,

The Global Retreat of the Regulatory State? Populist Challenges and the Future of Regulatory Governance, A webinar by Kutsal Yesilkagit (Leiden University), Ioannis Papadopoulos (University of Lausanne), and M. Kerem Coban (SOAS, University of London & Kadir Has University) , With commentary by David Levi-Faur (Hebrew University and Gorge Soros Visiting Chair, CEU, Vienna). Populist movements are reshaping the regulatory landscape around the globe, challenging established practices and threatening the autonomy and effectiveness of regulatory agencies. This phenomenon raises critical questions: How exactly are populist governments altering regulatory institutions? What methods do populist leaders utilize to undermine or control regulatory frameworks? How are markets reacting to regulatory uncertainty, and what impact does populism have on the stability and predictability of governance? Furthermore, what role can international regulatory networks play in responding to these challenges? The discussion will be followed by the contribution of David Levi-Faur who will provide a comprehensive critical examination of these developments, highlighting key trends, identifying underlying risks, and offering broader insights and perspectives on the future of regulatory governance. Join this essential conversation to deepen your understanding of the profound shifts occurring in regulatory governance. We look forward to your participation!
