http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9780429431197 Focused on the
emergence of US President Donald Trump, the United Kingdom's
departure from the European Union, and the recruitment of Islamic
State foreign fighters from Western Muslim communities, this book
explores the ways in which the decay and corruption of key social
institutions has created a vacuum of intellectual and moral
guidance for working people and deprived them of hope and an upward
social mobility long considered central to the social contract of
Western liberal democracy. Examining the exploitation of this
vacuum of leadership and opportunity by new demagogues, the author
considers two important yet overlooked dimensions of this new
populism: the mobilization of both religion and masculinity. By
understanding religion as a dynamic social force that can be
mobilized for purposes of social solidarity and by appreciating the
sociological arguments that hyper-masculinity is caused by social
injury, Roose considers how these key social factors have been
particularly important in contributing to the emergence of the new
demagogues and their followers. Roose identifies the challenges
that this poses for Western liberal democracy and argues that
states must look beyond identity politics and exclusively
rights-based claims and, instead, consider classical conceptions of
citizenship.
