    Episode 16. Populism vs. Nationalism—Same or Different?

    Ever wondered what really separates populism from nationalism? In this episode, we unpack Ashutosh Varshney's compelling analysis of the key similarities and critical differences between these two powerful political phenomena. We'll explore why populism is often anti-elitist and thrives on relentless popular mobilization, whereas nationalism frequently operates within established institutions, sometimes quietly, sometimes fervently.

    Ever wondered how trade wars shape domestic politics? In Episode 15, we explore Fetzer and Schwarz's insightful analysis of Trump's trade wars, revealing how countries like China and the EU strategically targeted retaliatory tariffs to impact U.S. politics directly. Were these tariffs designed purely for economic retaliation, or did they aim to pressure Trump's voter base? Join us to unpack how international trade disputes become tools of political influence, merging economics, elections, and global power dynamics. 📖 Citation: Fetzer, Thiemo & Schwarz, Carlo. (2020).

    Episode 14. Who Really Pays for Tariffs?

    Ever wondered who actually bears the cost when tariffs rise? In this episode, we unpack groundbreaking research by Alberto Cavallo, Gita Gopinath, Brent Neiman, and Jenny Tang on how tariffs imposed during recent US-China trade disputes have impacted prices at the border—and in stores. We explore how tariffs affect import prices, retail margins, and consumer costs. Do importers fully pass tariffs to consumers, or do retailers absorb some costs? Why are tariffs more readily passed to consumers than currency exchange fluctuations? Join us as we untangle the economic realities of tariffs in global trade. 📖 Citation: Cavallo, Alberto, Gopinath, Gita, Neiman, Brent, & Tang, Jenny. 2021.

    Episode 13:.The Ripple Effect—How Radical Right Success Shifts Mainstream Politics

    Ever wondered how radical right parties influence mainstream political landscapes? In this episode, we unpack Tarik Abou-Chadi and Werner Krause's insightful research on how radical right successes drive mainstream parties to adopt tougher positions on immigration and cultural protectionism. Using design-based quantitative techniques, the authors reveal a clear causal relationship: when radical right parties achieve parliamentary representation, mainstream left and right parties significantly shift toward more restrictive immigration policies. Are these shifts strategic adaptations or genuine ideological changes? 📖 Citation: Abou-Chadi, Tarik, and Werner Krause. 2018. "The Causal Effect of Radical Right Success on Mainstream Parties' Policy Positions: A Regression Discontinuity Approach." British Journal of Political Science 48:1–19.
