The victory of Donald Trump in the 2016 election left specialists
of American politics perplexed and concerned about the future of US
democracy. Because no populist leader had occupied the White House
in 150 years, there were many questions about what to expect.
Marshaling the long-standing expertise of leading specialists of
populism elsewhere in the world, this book provides the first
systematic, comparative analysis of the prospects for US democracy
under Trump, considering the two regions - Europe and Latin America
- that have had the most ample recent experiences with populist
chief executives. Chapters analyze the conditions under which
populism slides into illiberal or authoritarian rule and in so
doing derive well-grounded insights and scenarios for the US case,
as well as a more general cross-national framework. The book makes
an original argument about the likely resilience of US democracy
and its institutions.
