The Age of the Strongman : How the Cult of the Leader Threatens Democracy Around the World
Gideon Rachman
We are in a new era.
Authoritarian leaders have become a central feature of global politics. Since 2000, self-styled strongmen have risen to power in capitals as diverse as Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, Brasilia, Budapest, Ankara, Riyadh & Washington.
These leaders are nationalists & social conservatives, with little tolerance for minorities, dissent or the interests of foreigners. At home, they claim to stand up for ordinary people against globalist elites; abroad, they posture as the embodiments of their nations. And everywhere they go, they encourage a cult of personality. These leaders are not just operating in authoritarian political systems but have begun to emerge in the heartlands of liberal democracy.
While the EU referendum & election of Donald Trump in 2016 mark a watershed, the new era started at the beginning of the millennium, when Vladimir Putin took power in Russia. How & why did this new style of strongman leadership arrive? How likely is it to lead to war or economic collapse? And what forces are in place not only to keep these strongmen in check but to reverse the trend?
From Trump, Putin & Bolsonaro to Erdogan, Xi & Modi, The Age of the Strongman provides the first truly global treatment of the new nationalism & offers a bold new paradigm for understanding our world
