Dear Colleagues, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to invite all to annual international symposium organised by European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS). It is on "The Future of Multilateralism in the Rising Multipolar World and Its Implications for the Economic Performance of Populists in Power" and will be held online on March 19-20, 2024 . The symposium aims to delve into the intricate interplay between multilateralism, multipolarity, and the economic policies and performance of populist governments worldwide. It posits that the evolving dynamics of multipolarity and shifts in global power dynamics have cast a shadow on the relevance, legitimacy, and effectiveness of established international cooperation platforms such as the UN, G-20, World Bank, IMF, WTO, WHO and etc. The rise of initiatives such as BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), led by authoritarian and populist leaders, raises questions about their role in shaping the future of global governance. Speakers include Dr. Barrie AXFORD, [1] Dr. Robert KUTTNER, [2]Dr. Albena AZMANOVA, [3]Dr. Stewart PATRICK, [4]Dr. Chris CHASE-DUNN [5], Dr. Viktor JAKUPEC [6], Dr. Nora FISHER-ONAR [7], Dr. Marina NORD [8], Dr. Kurt WEYLAND [9], Dr. James BACCHUS [10], Dr. Steven R.
