The Wannabe Fascists
Meet today's almost fascists and learn the warning signs to intercept them on the road from populism to dictatorship. With The Wannabe Fascists, historian Federico Finchelstein offers a precise explanation of why Trumpism and similar movements across the world belong to a new political breed, the last outcome of the combined histories of fascism and populism: the wannabe fascists. This new type of populist politician is typically a legally elected leader who, unlike previous populists who were eager to distance themselves from fascism, turns to totalitarian lies, racism, and illegal means to destroy democracy from within. Drawing on almost three decades of research on the histories of fascis...
Populism and Key Concepts in Social and Political Theory
This volume aims to generate a dialogue between scholarship on populism and social and political theory. It focuses on citizenship, class, gender, cleavages, sovereignty, accountability, participation, leadership, and parties. The volume explores how classical and current theorists developed these categories, how they were used by scholars of populism, and what populism tells us about their heuristic advantages and limitations. The authors of this book have studied populism in Europe, the US, and Latin America from distinct perspectives. The chapters thus focus on experiences in both the Global North and South. Contributors are: Cecilia Biancalana, Paula Diehl, Reinhard Heinisch, Klaudia Koxha, Alfio Mastropaolo, Oscar Mazzoleni, Enrique Peruzzotti, Kenneth M. Roberts, Luis Roniger, and Carlos de la Torre. Populism and Key Concepts in Social and Political Theory is now available in paperback for individual customers.
Democracy's Resilience to Populism's Threat
Analyzes contemporary Latin America, Europe, and the United States to show the many ways democracies withstand populism's threat.
Global Populisms
This ground-breaking textbook describes and explains the global manifestations of populism. It reviews controversies about its relationships with democracy in the distinct and interrelated histories of the Americas, Asia, and Europe. The volume surveys the similarities and differences between populism, nationalism, fascism, and populist uses of religion and the media. Global Populisms invites students and the general public to move beyond simplistic conceptualizations of populism as an external virus and as an irrational threat to democracy, or, alternatively, as the path to return power to the people. The book differentiates populists’ correct critiques to inequalities, the loss of nation...
Still the Age of Populism?
Still the Age of Populism? investigates current conceptions of populism and its relevance across the globe. Using contextualized case studies, cross-national comparisons, and theoretical interventions, this volume addresses key conceptual debates in comparative politics and political sociology. This essential volume brings together scholars from different traditions in political sociology, political science and cultural studies, and comparativists and area experts working on Latin America, Western and Eastern Europe, and the US. Chapters in the book employ innovative theoretical approaches to study aspects of populism in global comparative perspective whilst regional case studies, including ...
Aspirantes a fascistas
Descubra como os "quase-fascistas" modernos estão avançando do populismo rumo à ditadura, e os sinais cruciais que podem ajudar a interromper esse caminho antes que seja tarde demais. Em Aspirantes a fascistas, o historiador Federico Finchelstein oferece uma explicação precisa do motivo pelo qual o trumpismo e movimentos semelhantes em todo o mundo pertencem a uma nova raça política, o último produto das histórias combinadas do fascismo e do populismo: os aspirantes a fascistas. Esse novo tipo de político populista é, em geral, um líder legalmente eleito que, ao contrário dos populistas anteriores - preocupados em se distanciar do fascismo -, recorre a mentiras totalitárias, ao...
U.S. Democracy in Danger
Historically, Donald Trump will be remembered as the first American president to be impeached twice and indicted. He fed the grotesque myth that the election was stolen and summoned his supporters to storm Congress on 6 January 2021 in a bid to thwart the certification of Joe Biden's U.S. presidential election victory. This volume vividly recounts the dramatic narrative of the January 6 Coup in America and how close we came to losing U.S. democracy. For anyone seeking a comprehensive and multidisciplinary global overview of democracy, an astute analysis of the forces that drive the dominance of the (neo)liberal paradigm of the last decades should look no further than this volume. Yet the vol...
El populismo. Estado de la cuestión y el caso de México
Existen innumerables libros y artículos en revistas especializadas que abordan el fenómeno del populismo. Ante esta abundancia, ¿para qué un libro más?, se pregunta el editor. En México hemos llegado tarde a esta discusión. Nuestra tardía transición a la democracia produjo también un desgaste de la democracia elitista muy posterior a la sufrida en la mayor parte de América Latina. En casi todos los países de la región emergieron distintos proyectos populistas desde principios del siglo XXI, unas dos décadas después de las transiciones a la democracia desde regímenes dictatoriales. Mientras los mexicanos experimentábamos una modesta primavera democrática, los países del Con...
