This book explores the recent international decline in democracy
and the psychological appeal of authoritarianism in the context of
rapid globalization. The rise of populist movements and leaders
across the globe has produced serious and unexpected challenges to
human rights and freedoms. By understanding the psychological
foundations of the surge in populism and authoritarian leadership,
we can better develop ways to nurture and safeguard democracy. Why
and how do authoritarian leaders gain popular support? In this
book, social psychologist Fathali M. Moghaddam discusses the stages
of political development on the continuum from absolute
dictatorship to the ideal of actualized democracy. He explains how
""fractured globalization"" - by which technological and economic
forces push societies toward greater global unification, while
social identity needs pull individuals back into tribal
identification - can produce a turn toward dictatorship, even in
previously democratic societies. The book concludes with potential
solutions to the rise of authoritarian leaders and ways to
strengthen democracy.
