Populism, Punishment and the Threat to Democratic Order: The Return of the Strong Men

by John Pratt

Book Overview

This book traces the rise of contemporary populism in Western democracies, marked by the return of would-be 'strong men' politicians. It seeks to make sense of the nature, origins, and consequences of their ascendancy-as expressed, for example, in the startling rise of the social movement surrounding Trump in the US, Brexit in the UK and the remarkable spread of ideologies that express resistance to 'facts, ' science, and expertise.
