The election of Donald Trump, the Brexit vote, populist movements like Catalan separatism – together with democratic backsliding in Central and Eastern Europe – are all examples of tribalization. Fuelled by anti-globalism and identity politics, tribalization is drawing up the drawbridge to the world. It is putting cultural differences before dialogue, collaboration and universal liberal values.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But tribalism is a dangerous road to go down. With it, argues Marlene Wind, we have put democracy itself in danger. Tribalism is not just about being pro-nation, anti-EU and anti-global. It is in many instances a bigger and more fundamental movement that casts aside the liberal democratic principles we once held in common.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e At a time when former defenders of liberal values are increasingly silent or have even joined the growing chorus of tribalists, this book is a wakeup call. Drawing on a wide range of examples from the UK and the US to Spain, Hungary and Poland, Wind highlights the dangers of identity politics and calls on people to stand up for democracy and the rule of law.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eImagined Communities and Identity Politicsv Tribal thinking and dreams of detachment\u003cbr\u003eWhy Brexit is Just Another Kind of Tribalism\u003cbr\u003eThe Tribal Shift in Central and Eastern Europe\u003cbr\u003eWho Cares About Democracy?\u003cbr\u003eWho Are the People?\u003cbr\u003eDemocracy Without Limits?\u003cbr\u003eAre Illiberal Democracies Democracies?\u003cbr\u003eWhy Liberals Are Increasingly on the Defensive, but Shouldn’t Be\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52501082603800,"sku":"9781509541683","price":12.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509541683.jpg?v=1786208859","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-tribalization-of-europe-a-defence-of-our-liberal-values-paperback-softback-9781509541683","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
