The novel conceptualization offered in this book will give readers a new and deeper insight into the changing nature of the Authoritarian Threat to Democracy - and how it might be overcome.
While there is hope that the COVID-19 crisis could lead to a reinvigoration of Democracy and a new economic agenda, there is also the risk of a further slide towards Authoritarian rule and an urgent need for democratic renewal and change to combat this.
This innovative and important book draws on examples from around the world to examine the spread of draconian and nationalistic forms of government: a lurch towards \'Authoritarian protectionism\' which observes a simple maxim, that \'the world may end for others, but not for us\'.
Instead, amidst the many crises facing humanity, a new authoritarianism is emerging.
