In America and the Politics of Insecurity, Andrew Rojecki assesses
the response of citizens and politicians to a series of crises that
confronted the United States during the first decade of the
twenty-first century. This period brought Americans face to face
with extraordinarily difficult problems that were compounded by
their origin in seemingly uncontrollable global forces. Rojecki
establishes a theoretical framework for understanding how these new
uncertainties contribute to increasingly polarized political
discourse. Analyzing three domains of American insecurity-economic,
environmental, and existential-Rojecki examines responses to the
Great Recession by groups like the Tea Party and Occupy Wall
Street; considers why the growing demand for fossil fuels makes
people disregard global warming; and explores the desire for
security measures that restrict personal freedom in the age of
terrorism. Ultimately, he explains why the right has thus far held
an edge over the left in the politics of insecurity. Rojecki
concludes that in order to address these broad-scale political
problems, we must reframe domestic issues as reactions to
undiagnosed global conditions. Bringing the psychology of
uncertainty together with contemporary case studies, this book is a
sweeping diagnostic for-and antidote to-ineffective political
discourse in a globalized world that imports bads as well as goods.
