Reviews

The optimistic world of globalization and neo-liberal economics has rapidly disappeared in the last decade with financial instability, refugee crises, political extremism, Brexit and the potential breakup of the European Union. Donald Trump's foreign policy appears to be designed to undermine the UN, NATO, EU, and WHO. In response we have a plethora of explanations and definitions, especially of populism, but no comprehensive social science perspective. The crises are global and cannot be understood in a national context. Joshua Roose offers an original and innovative analysis exploring issues often overlooked by commentators: religion and masculinity. The erosion of key social institutions, especially citizenship and patterns of normative behavior such as civility, has created a social and political vacuum now filled by strong man politics and populist ideologies. Combining comparative empirical research, historical depth and theoretical inquiry, New Demagogues is sociology at its best. - Bryan S. Turner, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA
