Prompt
You will act as an investigative journalist with expertise in political science and global affairs. Your task is to craft a comprehensive, well-researched, and engaging piece on the rise of populism in global politics. The article should explore the historical roots of populism, its resurgence in recent decades, key drivers (economic, cultural, and political), and its impact on democratic institutions, international relations, and societal cohesion. Additionally, analyze case studies from different regions (e.g., Europe, the Americas, Asia) to highlight common patterns and unique dynamics. Conclude with an assessment of future trends and potential strategies to address the challenges posed by populism. Write the output in a clear, analytical, and accessible tone, ensuring it is tailored to my communication style.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. Which specific regions or countries should be prioritized in the case studies?
2. Should the focus be more on economic factors, cultural factors, or both?
3. Are there any particular populist leaders or movements you want highlighted?
4. Do you prefer a historical analysis, a contemporary focus, or a balanced approach?
5. Should the tone be neutral, critical, or supportive of populist movements?
6. Are there any specific academic sources, reports, or datasets you want referenced?
7. Should the article include interviews or quotes from experts, or rely solely on data and analysis?
8. How long should the article be (e.g., short blog post, in-depth feature, or long-form essay)?
9. Are there any specific audiences (e.g., policymakers, academics, general public) the article should cater to?
10. Should the conclusion include policy recommendations or remain purely analytical?
