Populist leaders around the world increasingly reject international organizations, decrying them as constraints on state power and rallying followers against the 鈥済lobal elite鈥� who run them. These instituions鈥攑ainstakingly built through decades of negotiation and multilateral cooperation鈥攁re often seen as passive bystanders, unable or unwilling to push back. In Global Governance Under Fire, Allison Carnegie and Richard Clark challenge this view, arguing that international organizations are, in fact, strategic agents with the tools to resist populist pressures. Offering fresh theoretical insights and original empirical analysis, they investigate how these institutions fight back and how their defensive strategies are reshaping global governance.

Using a multimethod approach that draws on novel data and qualitative evidence, Carnegie and Clark identify four key strategies that international organizations employ鈥攁ppeasing and sidelining populists and their constituents. They find that while these strategies help fortify global governance against populist opposition, they may also carry unintended consequences, potentially eroding institutional legitimacy and fueling further resistance. A timely and compelling account, the book provides a crucial roadmap for understanding鈥攁nd safeguarding鈥攖he global order.
