Populism in power and regional (dis-)integration: charting paths of populist regionalism in Europe and Latin America
AbstractHow do populists approach regional integration from the government? Existing research shows that a rhetoric backlash against regional organizations and their bureaucracies is central to contemporary populist leaderships, which increasingly project the ideational antagonism between ‘the people’ and ‘the elites’ onto the regional level. However, the various ways in which

It's Not Just the Economy, Stupid: Corruption and Subjective Well Being in Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean
AbstractWhile existing research highlights the links between personal corruption experiences, perceptions of corruption, and lower subjective well-being, little is known about the effect of living in a more corrupt place over and above the direct economic effect. However, in theory corruption can also undermine subjective well-being outside of its direct economic effects. This

AbstractThe study delves into the image migration of liberation films shot by Soviet camera teams in the concentration camps Auschwitz and Majdanek. Scattered and incomplete, these films pose challenges for scholars seeking origin, context, and migration paths. For this exploration, the EU Horizon 2020 project ‘Visual History of the Holocaust’ (VHH) marked a watershed moment

25 years of tourist tracking: a geographical perspective
AbstractOver the past twenty-five years, conceptualisations regarding where, when and how tourists travel have undergone profound changes. For many years, surveys, maps relying on tourists’ recall, and physical surveillance were the only means through which the mobility of tourists could be tracked.

Nordic Traces in Israel
AbstractFor many years, historians have not given due attention to the relations between the Nordic countries and Israel. As a consequence, the existing body of research on this topic is almost entirely conducted by scholars from the social sciences, especially international relations and conflict resolution studies, a fact that has led to an overemphasis on their occasional

Regionalism under test: justifying initial regional responses to the global Covid-19 crisis in Latin America
AbstractThis article explores the distinctive features of Latin American regionalism by examining its rhetorical justifications during the onset of the COVID-19 crisis.

Playful images: Visual Holocaust memory, digital media, and the visual walkthrough method
AbstractThis article presents a conceptual and methodological framework that focuses on the interactivity, creativity, and variability of Holocaust images in digital media. Our argument unfolds in three stages. First, we introduce the concept of playful images: historical images that undergo recontextualisation, serving memetic, personal, and interactive engagements in and by

However, we still lack a nuanced understanding of the international effects of this new populist wave. The special section that this article introduces seeks to bridge this gap by systematically examining three types of

Populist international (dis)order? Lessons from world-order visions in Latin American populism
AbstractThe study of populism's international links has grown significantly. Yet, there are gaps in conceptualizing potential implications for the international order. Our study contributes to filling this gap by asking: if a ‘populist international order’ (PIO) were to emerge, and populists could envision the world close(r) to their liking, what would this order look like? We

Populism and International Legitimation Strategies
AbstractThe quest for legitimacy has traditionally been intrinsic to the political phenomenon of populism, while legitimation struggles are increasingly relevant once populist leaderships take government control. However, the rich literature on populism and legitimacy has hardly interacted and, therefore, analysis of populists' international (de)legitimation strategies has been
