The majority of citizens in the world today do not trust their
political representatives, the mainstream political parties, the
established political institutions or their governments. This
widespread crisis of legitimacy underlies a series of dramatic
changes that have taken place in recent times in the global
political landscape, such as the unexpected election of Donald
Trump, Brexit, the demise of traditional political parties and the
election of a political outsider in France, the transformation of
the political system in Spain (including the secessionist movement
in Catalonia), the rise of the extreme right in Europe and the
nationalist challenges that threaten the European Union. In this
short but wide-ranging book Manuel Castells analyses each of these
processes and examines some of the potential causes of people's
disaffection towards the institutions of liberal democracy,
including the effects of globalization, the impact of media
politics and the internet, the increasing corruption of
politicians, the insulation of a professional political class from
civil society and the critique of the existing order by new social
movements. He also examines the impact of global terrorism and war
on the xenophobia and racism that are fuelling the surge of
extremism among a growing proportion of the population. The fact
that many of these trends are present in very different contexts
suggests that we are witnessing a deep-seated crisis of the model
of democracy that has been the cornerstone of stability and
civility in the last half century.
