On Extremism and Democracy in Europe de Cas Mudde

On Extremism and Democracy in Europe: Routledge Studies in Extremism and Democracy

Autor Cas Mudde
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 mar 2016
On Extremism and Democracy in Europe is a collection of short and accessible essays on the far right, populism, Euroscepticism, and liberal democracy by one of the leading academic and public voices today. It includes both sober, fact-based analysis of the often sensationalized "rise of the far right" in Europe as well as passionate defence of the fundamental values of liberal democracy. Sometimes counter-intuitive and always thought-provoking, Mudde argues that the true challenge to liberal democracy comes from the political elites at the centre of the political systems rather than from the political challengers at the political margins. Pushing to go beyond the simplistic opposition of extremism and democracy, which is much clearer in theory than in practice, he accentuates the internal dangers of liberal democracy without ignoring the external threats. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in European politics, extremism and/or current affairs more generally.

Recenzii

Never afraid to tell it like it is, Cas Mudde may be a born contrarian but he always　knows what he’s talking about. This collection exemplifies Mudde's　trademark mix of scholarly expertise and take-no-prisoners commitment to making us all think twice before we take too much　for granted. Genuinely a great　read.
Tim Bale,　Professor of Politics,　Queen Mary University of London, UK
A must-read for anyone interested in this riveting European political moment—populism, freedom of speech, far-right, far-left, religion, Euroscepticism, and euro-crisis.　It’s all here: well written, provocative, and engaging. Always original and thought-provoking, Cas Mudde combines wonderful political savvy with unrivalled academic expertise.
Catherine Fieschi, Director, Counterpoint, UK
Cas Mudde is the leading public intellectual drawing attention to the challenges to liberal democracy and the European project represented by populist, Eurosceptic parties. Dismissing convenient, simplistic hype over this phenomenon and highlighting the contradictory responses of governments this book defines the issues likely to dominate European politics for years to come.
Geoffrey Harris, European Parliament official (1976-2016) and author of The Dark Side of Europe.
This collection distils the essential Mudde. His characteristically　forthright　dissection of key political trends　includes a primer on populism that will be widely cited, but he also warns of the dangers of blaming populism for all the problems besetting liberal democracy in Europe today. Mudde's analysis of the damage done by　mainstream parties and politicians in the name of combatting extremism　should be essential reading for all Europeans worried about the future of democracy and the EU.
Heather Grabbe, Director,　Open Society European Policy Institute, Belgium
Cas Mudde is one of the leading specialists of the populist radical right. He is also a man with strong moral and civic values. The pathological normalcy theory he exposes in this collection of his articles is a key to understanding the mounting challenge of the extreme right to liberal democracy. It is also well worth reading his criticism of "undemocratic liberalism", as the reason for the successes of Left-Wing populism.
Jean-Yves Camus, Directeur de l'Observatoire des radicalités Politiques (ORAP), Paris
