Krátky popis
'Timely, laser-sharp and unsettling... A must read' - Peter
Frankopan, author of The Silk RoadsWe are in a new
era.Authoritarian leaders have become a central feature of global
politics. Since 2000, self-styled strongmen have risen to power in
capitals as diverse as Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, Brasilia, Budapest,
Ankara, Riyadh and Washington.These leaders are nationalists and
social conservatives, with little tolerance for minorities, dissent
or the interests of foreigners.At home, they claim to stand up for
ordinary people against globalist elites, abroad, they posture as
the embodiments of their nations. And everywhere they go, they
encourage a cult of personality. These leaders are not just
operating in authoritarian political systems but have begun to
emerge in the heartlands of liberal democracy.While the EU
referendum and election of Donald Trump in 2016 mark a watershed,
the new era started at the beginning of the millennium, when
Vladimir Putin took power in Russia.How and why did this new style
of strongman leadership arrive? How likely is it to lead to war or
economic collapse? And what forces are in place not only to keep
these strongmen in check but to reverse the trend?From Trump, Putin
and Bolsonaro to Erdogan, Xi and Modi, The Age of the Strongman
provides the first truly global treatment of the new nationalism
and offers a bold new paradigm for understanding our world
