Description du projet
Étude de la portée du populisme
Le projet INT-NAT, financé par l’UE, vise à étudier le lien complexe entre le populisme de droite en Asie du Sud et les réseaux mondiaux qui ont contribué à son succès. Le projet s’intéressera particulièrement aux réseaux populistes sud-asiatiques au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis. Il portera sur deux groupes, à savoir les connexions des partis politiques au pouvoir en Inde et au Pakistan. INT-NAT emploiera un éventail de méthodes pour examiner la diversité au sein de ces groupes et étudier les différences intergénérationnelles entre les jeunes membres de ces groupes et les membres des associations étudiantes universitaires d’Inde et du Pakistan. L’urgence de ce travail tient à la montée en puissance du populisme dans différentes régions du monde, de sorte qu’il est nécessaire d’explorer les réseaux transnationaux potentiels.
Objectif
The Inter-Nationalist explores the complex nexus between right wing populism in South Asia and the global networks that have contributed to its success, as well as their implications for populism in the Global North. The urgency of this project is evident in the rise of populism in different parts of the world, necessitating an exploration of transnational networks. The uniqueness of this project is its focus on South Asian populist networks in the UK and US. The study focuses on the Indian ruling political party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in relation to its international affiliates the Overseas Friends of BJP (OFBJP), and the Pakistani ruling political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and its Office of International Chapters-PTI (OIC-PTI), as located in London and New York. The study makes an innovative contribution to major EU policies including ‘crisis management in fragile countries’, ‘combating discrimination’, ‘justice and fundamental rights’, ‘foreign affairs and security’, and ‘gender equality’. The project uses mixed methods with the objective to map horizontal and vertical trajectories of these network thereby creating a multidimensional framework, to examine diversity within these groups in relation to gender, religion, ethnicity, caste, class, sect and sexualities, and to explore intergenerational differences through younger members of these groups and members of Indian and Pakistani university student societies. The study also examines support of such groups for populists in the UK and US. Trained as a qualitative researcher focusing on securitization and education in the UK and Pakistan, the ER will expand her interdisciplinary skills across Sociology, International Relations, Political Science and Human and Political Geography. She will publish three journal articles and a monograph, with the aim of expanding this research through future grants, and securing a tenure-track job.
