By understanding the psychological foundations of the surge in populism and authoritarian leadership, we can better develop ways to nurture and safeguard democracy.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Why and how do authoritarian leaders gain popular support? In this book, social psychologist Fathali M. Moghaddam discusses the stages of political development on the continuum from absolute dictatorship to the ideal of actualized democracy. He explains how \"fractured globalization\" - by which technological and economic forces push societies toward greater global unification, while social identity needs pull individuals back into tribal identification - can produce a turn toward dictatorship, even in previously democratic societies. The book concludes with potential solutions to the rise of authoritarian leaders and ways to strengthen democracy.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"American Psychological Association","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52742626181400,"sku":"9781433830709","price":34.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/threat-to-democracy-the-appeal-of-authoritarianism-in-an-age-of-uncertainty-hardback-9781433830709","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
