New Authoritarianism raises
serious questions about the efficacy of democracy and authoritarianism.
The book gathers an impressive collection of political analysts to
outline the retreat of democratic traditions and rise of
authoritarianism in countries like Hungary, Kenya, Poland, Russia, and
Turkey. Well-researched and constructed,
New Authoritarianism follows
a logical structure in each of its chapters that reflects the expertise
of the authors. Each case-study provides systematic insights into
countries that evolved from dictatorship to democracy, only to revert to
a new form of authoritarianism (referred to in various places as
controlled democracy, delegative democracy, electoral authoritarianism,
and illiberal democracy).
