Democracy under pressure: The “nationalist international”
|
Reading time: 5 min.
|Right-wing extremists are on the rise in many countries around the world. What unites them, what divides them? Four books shed light on this. An important insight: It's not too late, and every despotism has its limits.
Review by Tanjev Schultz
Why nationalists and right-wing radicals are currently coming to power or sensing a new dawn in so many countries may only be able to be explained conclusively and comprehensively in retrospect in a few years. But political meteorologists are already called upon to observe and describe these ideological low-pressure areas as accurately as possible. Several new nonfiction books are helping in this regard.
