I study what happens when the world’s most powerful ideas about democracy, gender and politics, and climate change cross borders and collide with competing political realities. Rather than viewing global norms as simply adopted or rejected, I explore how they are reinterpreted, repurposed, or undermined by governments, international organizations, and citizens negotiate competing ideas and worldviews. More broadly, I situate these dynamics within a rapidly changing global order marked by rising populism, authoritarianism, and contestation. Using advanced quantitative methods and large-scale cross-national data, I examine how these struggles reshape public opinion, political institutions, and trajectories of global change.
