Contemporary political systems reveal the increasing importance of personal characteristics of party leaders, government officials and civil servants. Stark examples of this phenomenon include authoritarian figures such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Turkey’s Recep Erdogan and Peru’s Alberto Fujimori, as well as leaders of democratic nations represented by Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi and the United States’ Donald Trump. As more political parties led by charismatic individuals win elections, the need for a better understanding of the consequences has become urgent. This conference offers a platform for presentation and discussion of scholarly work that casts light on the mechanisms of policymaking and implementation under personalist rulers. Scholars from the United States and abroad will share results from new research about the effects of personalism on institutional accountability, foreign policymaking and democratic backsliding.
