Popular backlash against globalization is widely considered a defining challenge to the international order. This article revisits the backlash thesis using a new survey of 1,196 likely voters in the United States and their preferences over globalization. The survey results challenge underlying assumptions of prevailing accounts of the globalization backlash.

This chapter makes the case for a radical reassessment of the European Green Deal and its place in the history of the Green New Deal movement. We advance three core claims — about the Green Deal (GD), the Green New Deal (GND), and the politics of decarbonization, respectively.

Recent commentary on the state of multilateralism begins from an alarming premise: a popular backlash against globalization is underway. The prospects for multilateralism depend, by this account, on shielding global governance from the forces of mass politics. We challenge this conventional account to develop a novel conceptual framework for the mass politics of global governance and the role of contestation in resolving, rather than inciting, the present crisis of multilateralism.

This paper bridges the economic and values-based approaches to populism by arguing that the geography of wealth inequality offers a convincing explanation for the pattern of populist vote share.

In this paper, argue that the transformation in Britain's housing market has had a profound impact on British politics by dividing regions, tenures, and generations in a new housing cleavage.

In this working paper, I use the World Values Survey and European Values Survey to examine the relationship between democratic discontent and the left-right political spectrum. I find that, contrary to much contemporary commentary, hostility to democracy is strongest not at the political extremes, but in the center.

The Delhi Master Plan 2021 introduced the "In-situ rehabilitation" approach to slum redevelopment, in which residents of Jhuggi Jhopdi Clusters transition to temporary housing while the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) reconstructs the settlment, and then shifts the slum-dwellers back onto the original plot and into improved housing. Kathputli Colony, located in West Delhi's Shadipur region, has been selected by the DDA as the site of Delhi's first in-situ slum rehabilitation. This paper lays out the trajectory of the Kathputli project thus far, examining the formal, legalistic framework and its relationship to the actual events documented in our research in the colony.
