About this book
Reviews
“Crewe’s and Sanders’ timely book enriches the academic literature devoted to populism. One of its main merits is its clarity. … the book is perfectly intelligible and its chapters make perfect sense whether read in succession or separately. …this panoramic volume is on the whole enlightening and will allow specialist and non-specialist advanced readers to better grasp the history, mechanisms and consequences of authoritarian populism in the UK, the US and beyond and to envisage what possible responses might be.” (Vincent Latour,Caliban, French Journal of English Studies, Vol. 63, 2020)
“This is a timely book on an important topic, and one in which distinguished scholars offer lucid insights that will endure for many years.” (Professor Richard English, Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland)“This is a major study of one of the greatest challenges that western democracies face today – the rise of authoritarian populism and its threat to liberal democracy. The contributors provide profound analyses of the contemporary sources of authoritarian populism together with imaginative, and often surprising, suggestions for how democracies might respond to the challenge. It is essential reading for all of us but especially for our political elites – who need to take notice, and act accordingly.” (Professor Anthony Heath, Nuffield College, University of Oxford, UK)
