How can we interpret and respond to the rise of populist regimes
that infringe on human rights? This incisive book analyses
illiberal, repressive, and patriarchal logics of rule, identifying
critical catalysts in the meteoric growth of populist agendas.
Contributors scrutinise the records of authoritarian and
nationalist leaders in Brazil, Hungary, India, Mexico, the
Philippines, Poland, Turkey and the United States. This topical
book treats populism as a multi-faceted, performative phenomenon
that claims to improve social rights while suppressing civil
liberties and substitutes the promise of cultural citizenship for
the loss of self-determination in a turbulent era of globalization.
The chapters bring attention to understudied dimensions of populism
including gender dynamics, bureaucratic politics, and the
co-construction of foreign policy. Going beyond normative appeals
to human rights, this innovative book urges advocates to contest
populism at the national, social, and ideological levels in novel
ways. Interweaving historical, political, comparative, statistical
and discursive analysis, this interdisciplinary book will be vital
to students and scholars of human rights, comparative politics,
democracy, sociology and international studies. It will also prove
invaluable to policymakers looking to address future populist
regimes.
