Abstract

This work comprises a reflection on populism and other threats to liberal democracies, especially the correlation between them. In this sense, the concept of Liberal Democracy was analysed, considering its evolution and historical construction, but also in light of its current meaning. Therefore, the very concept of Populism and the threat it represents, both internally and internationally, was explored. From there, we approached the controversial concept of Illiberal Democracy. Next, the conflict between populisms and liberal democracies in the international context was scrutinised, where some inherent problems were also highlighted. The conclusion is that, in fact, populism represents a threat to Liberal Democracy, bringing with it other threats not only to it, but to International Law itself.
