The rise of populism, Donald Trump's election and the result of the
EU referendum in the UK have been widely interpreted as a rejection
of the post-war liberal order - the manifestation of a desire to
undermine the political system that people feel has let them down.
Yet mainstream politicians and analysts have been slow to grasp the
changing situation, instead relying on a rhetoric of 'hard data'
and narrow economic arguments while failing to properly engage with
the politics of identity. This book argues that the relationship
between methodology and politics is now more important than ever -
that politics, if it is anything, is about engaging with people's
interpretations and narratives of the world in which they find
themselves. Politics in this new 'post-truth' era will require an
appreciation of the fact we live in an uncertain world of endless
diversity and potential for change. This thoughtful book addresses
how we might think about and do politics in these strange new
times. -- .
