No event of any significance in the world today -- be it an
unexpected election result, a terrorist attack, the death of a
public figure, a meteorological anomaly, or the flu pandemic --
takes place without generating at least a flutter of conspiracy
speculations. Conspiracy Theories: A Critical Introduction offers a
well informed, highly accessible, and thoroughly engaging
introduction to conspiracy theories, discussing their nature and
history, causes and consequences. Through a series of specific
questions that cut to the core of conspiracism as a global social
and cultural phenomenon, the book deconstructs the logic and
rhetoric of conspiracy theories and analyses the broader social and
psychological factors that contribute to their persistence in
modern society. / What are the defining characteristics of
conspiracy theories and how do they differ from legitimate
inquiries into actual conspiracies? / How long have conspiracy
theories been around and to what extent are contemporary versions
similar to those of yesteryear? / Why do conspiracy theories all
sound alike and what ensures their persistence in modern society? /
What psychological benefits do conspiracy theories bring to those
who subscribe to them? / Why are conspiracy theories so often
mobilized by political forces whose agenda is antithetical to
democratic politics?
