Why Populism?
Populism is a strategy - a low-cost route to power that can have detrimental consequences for democracy.
Populism and Patronage
Populist rule is bad for democracy, yet in country after country, populists are being voted into office. Populism and Patronage shows that the populists such as Indira Gandhi and Narendra Modi win elections when the institutionalized ties between non-populist parties and voters decay. Yet, the explanations for this decay differ across different types of party system. Populism and Patronage focuses on the particular vulnerability of patronage-based party systems to populism. Patronage-based systems are ones in which parties depend on the distribution of patronage through a network of brokers to mobilize voters. Drawing on principal agent theory and social network theory, this book argues that...
Paul Kenny : Offensive incognito
Un seul pépin, dit Coplan, un petit pépin de rien du tout. Ces individus ignorent que les microfiches ultra-secrètes sont dispersées parmi les vingt-cinq mille fiches du classement général. C'est tout. À vous de tirer la conclusion. Un sourire sardonique étira la bouche volontaire du Vieux. - Comme canular, c'est excellent !
Populism in Southeast Asia
Conceiving of populism as the charismatic mobilization of a mass movement in pursuit of political power, this Element theorizes that populists thrive where ties between voters and either bureaucratic or clientelistic parties do not exist or have decayed. This is because populists' ability to mobilize electoral support directly is made much more likely by voters not being deeply embedded in existing party networks. This model is used to explain the prevalence of populism across the major states in post-authoritarian Southeast Asia: the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand. It extracts lessons from these Southeast Asian cases for the study of populism.
Paul Kenny : Lignes de force
Deux grappins d'acier se refermèrent sur son cou, le rivant à son siège. Il eut un soubresaut violent, lâcha le volant pour saisir les poignets de son agresseur, mais ses carotides étaient comprimées dans un étau mortel qu'il ne put desserrer.
Paul Kenny : Dossier dynamite
En pensée, il voyait l'effroyable machine policière, dont les mécanismes se mettaient en branle, s'enchaînaient, s'engrenaient silencieusement... Carla Farbenlauw était partie vers son destin. Un étau allait se refermer sur elle, la broyer...
Paul Kenny : Secteur dangereux
Le poing crispé sur la crosse de son automatique, Francis jeta un rapide regard autour de lui afin de mesurer ses chances de fuite. Si l'un des deux inconnus laissait voir que les traits de Coplan ne lui étaient pas étrangers, Coplan ne pourrait tenter sa chance qu'en tirant le premier.
Paul Kenny : Voyageurs secrets
Lorsque le Vieux lui avait demandé de prendre contact avec Muller, Francis Coplan ne se doutait pas que cette mission lui réserverait autant de surprises. C'est que ce Muller, savant un peu farfelu et amateur de jolies filles, avait, à ses trousses, de nombreux ennemis acharnés à vouloir le supprimer.
Why Populism?
The rise to power of populists like Donald Trump is usually attributed to the shifting values and policy preferences of voters-the demand side. Why Populism shifts the public debate on populism and examines the other half of the equation-the supply side. Kenny argues that to understand the rise of populism is to understand the cost of different strategies for winning and keeping power. For the aspiring leader, populism-appealing directly to the people through mass communication-can be a quicker, cheaper, and more effective strategy than working through a political party. Probing the long history of populism in the West from its Ancient Greek roots to the present, this highly readable book shows that the 'economic laws of populism are constant.' 'Forget ideology. Forget resentment. Forget racism or sexism.' Populism, the author writes, is the result of a hidden strategic calculus.
Mexico's Security Failure
Mexico has failed to achieve internal security and poses a serious threat to its neighbors. This volume takes us inside the Mexican state to explain the failure there, but also reaches out to assess the impact of Mexico’s security failure beyond its borders. The key innovative idea of the book—security failure—brings these perspectives together on an intermestic level of analysis. It is a view that runs counter to the standard emphasis on the external, trans-national nature of criminal threats to a largely inert state. Mexico’s Security Failure is both timely, with Mexico much in the news, but also of lasting value. It explains Mexican insecurity in a full-dimensional manner that hasn’t been attempted before. Mexico received much scholarly attention a decade ago with the onset of democratization. Since then, the leading topic has become immigration. However, the security environment compelling many Mexicans to leave has been dramatically understudied. This tightly organized volume begins to correct that gap.
