Destroying Democracy (EPUB) von Jane Duncan

Through a comparative analysis of a panoply of issues in four country cases, Destroying Democracy demonstrates how decades of neoliberal capitalism have eroded the global democratic project, giving rise to divisive and exclusionary politics and increasing authoritarianism, fascism and populism in both the global north and south.
