After Liberalism? Populism and the Future of Democracy

The Alfred Deakin Institute’s flagship annual international conference will engage with the many challenges confronting the liberal order in the contemporary global political landscape.

This shifting political landscape raises pressing questions for global politics in the twenty-first century. Are we witnessing the end of the US-backed post-war liberal world order? And, if so, how can we rethink or reform liberalism, or develop new forms of governance in the face of such challenges? This conference will bring together leading scholars and practitioners across the disciplines of Politics and International Relations to engage with these questions across the following four key themes:

• Populism, Immigration and Inequality

• Liberalism, Security and Foreign Policy

• Sustainability and Climate Change

• Democracy and Public Deliberation
