Opis

Hard right-wing politics is growing in popularity in America, marked by Donald Trump’s success in 2016. This book seeks to explain the vulnerability of democracies to the appeal of right-wing politics, and how democracies may be under threat from conflict between popular attitudes and institutional paralysis.
