Reconceiving Engagement with International Law in a Populist Era

该项目旨在解决一个根本问题，即面对持续的民粹主义反弹，如何重新认识国家与国际法律的秩序的关系。它建议建立一个新的分析框架，以评估民粹主义对国际法的关切的起源和影响。预期成果包括对民粹主义领导人的国家脱离国际法律的秩序的程度进行详细的实证研究，并提出以证据为基础的建议，以增加各国对该秩序的承诺。预期的好处包括扩大国家研究和政策能力，以加强支持澳大利亚安全和繁荣的规则和机构。

This project seeks to address the fundamental problem of how to reconceive engagement by states with the international legal order, in the face of a sustained populist backlash. It proposes to develop a new analytical framework to evaluate the origins and impact of populist concerns about international law. Expected outcomes include detailed empirical studies of the extent to which countries with populist leaders have disengaged from the international legal order, and evidence-based recommendations to increase committed engagement by states with that order. Anticipated benefits include expanding national research and policy capacity in reinforcing the rules and institutions that support Australia’s security and prosperity.
