<strong>Populismstrong>, <strong>Punishmentstrong> and the <strong>Threatstrong> to <strong>Democraticstrong> <strong>Orderstrong>: The <strong>Returnstrong> of the Strong Men Pratt John
This book traces the rise of contemporary <strong>populismstrong> in Western democracies, marked by the <strong>returnstrong> of would-be 'strong men' politicians. This has had the potential to undermine or even overthrow the <strong>democraticstrong> <strong>orderstrong> altogether. 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.Uniquely, the book shows how what began as a form of penal <strong>populismstrong> in the early 1990s transformed into a more wide ranging populist politics.
It examines the way in which the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted on these forces, arguing it threw the flailing <strong>democraticstrong> <strong>orderstrong> an important lifeline, as Vladimir Putin has subsequently done with his war in Ukraine.
