Beyond the Populist Moment Perspectives on Democracy's Crisis
Description
Populism has had a transformative impact on the global political landscape, but is it invigorating and restoring modern democratic politics, or is it destroying it? This landmark study explores this question from cross-continental perspectives, with contributions from leading scholars including Chantal Mouffe, Azmi Bishara and Hamid Dabashi, engaging in this lively, multiregional and multi-disciplinary debate.
Featuring a broad conversation on the rising and fast changing impact of populism on world politics, this volume tackles one of the most pressing and stimulating political and philosophical questions of our time.
