| Summary: | Contemporary conservative populists across the world enjoy significant support among evangelicals. However, their embrace of isolationism, mercantilism, unilateralism, and anti-immigrant sentiment sits uneasily with the evangelical call to global action. This article explores the complicated relationship between evangelicalism and populist approaches to foreign policy worldwide. While evangelicals in the US show widespread support for populism, in other countries they are more comfortable with internationalist causes. Surveying evangelicals in the English-speaking world, East Asia, Africa, Latin America, and South Asia demonstrates the complexity of evangelical attitudes toward both globalism and populist nativism. |
