Liberal democracy is at risk. Its hallmark institutions - political
pluralism, separation of powers, and rule of law-are coming under
pressure, as authoritarian sentiment is growing around the globe.
While liberal-democratic backsliding features prominently in social
science scholarship, especially the branches concerned with
political parties and political behavior, public administration
research lags behind. However, without considering illiberal
approaches towards the executive, efforts of actual and aspiring
authoritarians remain only partly understood. State bureaucracies
are, after all, important instruments of power. This timely and
important volume addresses the administrative implications of
liberal-democratic backsliding. It studies public administrations
as objects and subjects in the context of illiberal dynamics. For
this purpose, the volume brings together an international group of
scholars to analyze authoritarian tendencies in several countries.
The contributions combine theoretical with empirical work,
providing the first comparative perspective on an overlooked aspect
of one of the most important contemporary political trends.
