Contemporary democracies are under severe challenge as popular support for the parties that have managed government for the last 70 years wanes, and support for populist, and often extreme and illiberal, alternatives grows. This book helps explain how we got to this state, in particular arguing that the roots of this ‘crisis of democracy’ go much deeper than the immediate questions of immigration, free trade, and economic retrenchment to which the rise of populism is commonly attributed.
