This ground-breaking and innovative book examines the influence of
charisma on power, authority and nationalism. The authors both
apply and challenge Max Weber's concept of 'charisma' and integrate
it into a broader discussion of other theoretical models. Using an
interdisciplinary approach, leading international scholars draw on
a diverse range of cases to analyse charisma in benign and
malignant leaderships, as well as the relationship between the cult
of the leader, the adulation of the masses and the extension of
individual authority beyond sheer power. They discuss idiosyncratic
authority and oratory, and they address how political, social and
regional variations help explain concepts and policies which helped
forge and reformulate nations, national identities and movements.
The chapters on particular charismatic leaders cover Abraham
Lincoln, Kemal Ataturk, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Gamal
Nasser, Joerg Haider and Nelson Mandela. Political Leadership,
Nations and Charisma will appeal to readers who are interested in
history, sociology, political communication and nationalism
studies.
