The paper points out that there is a way to comprehend the phenomenon of
national populism from the perspective of the international relations
discipline. Additionally, to provide an interpretation of why national
populism occurred in the United States and the European Union after 2014.
The emergence of national populism in the United States and the European
Union countries has endangered the survival of the liberal-democratic
paradox. There are numerous scientific explanations attempting to explain
how this phenomenon came about. In this paper, I will reduce these
explanations to cultural, economic, and political arguments and arguments
about human nature and the long-term logic of modernity. The author argues
that these explanations have a research gap since there is no answer to why
national populism occurred in 2014 simultaneously in the EU and the United
States. As a set of tools in the international relations discipline, the
author finds that relationalism provides us with lenses that can open up a
space to claim that the simultaneous change, embodied in the emergence of
national populism, occurred due to a change in the structure of the
everyday. Therefore, the paper consists of an interdisciplinary literature
review of relationalism in international relations, everyday nationalism,
the influence of algorithmic power and algorithmic politics on the structure
of human internet presence, and the existing works that indicate the source
of national populism?s emergence. By proving the claims, the author points
out the importance of studying processes in order to understand the events
and changes in international relations that have occurred since 2014.
