Recenzje

In this interesting and important contribution to a crucial debate, Takis Pappas highlights through an impressively wide-ranging theoretical discussion the inherent threat that populism poses to liberal democracy. Then he demonstrates through an extensive investigation of crucial cases under what conditions populist leaders can achieve their nefarious goals. The conclusion is that liberal democracy faces a serious challenge, but is not defenseless.
