*From the Far-Right to the Far-Left: Women Populist Leaders in Global Perspective * ** Edited by Henriette Müller and Pamela Pansardi /Deadline for Abstracts: 15 September 2025 /| /Deadline for Articles: 30 March 2026/ Politics and Governance, peer-reviewed journal indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (Web of Science; Impact Factor: 2.5) and Scopus (CiteScore: 4.9), welcomes new and exciting research papers for its upcoming issue "From the Far-Right to the Far-Left: Women Populist Leaders in Global Perspective," edited by Henriette Müller and Pamela Pansardi. This issue explores the rise and impact of women populist leaders across the ideological spectrum, from the far-left to the far-right, in a global context. Women populist leaders lead the polls and win landslide regional and national elections. This raises questions: How do women populist leaders perform in office, and with what impact on gender equality, LGBTIQ, and minority rights? What motivates women to elect, support, and run for parties and movements that reject contemporary feminism? While much of the existing literature has focused on male populist leaders, this collection addresses the gendered dimensions of populist leadership. By focusing on the diverse ideological orientations of these leaders, the issue aims to uncover the commonalities and differences in their leadership styles, the role of gender in their political trajectories, and their impact on the representation of women’s interests and the empowerment of women in politics.
