Summary:

"Preface and acknowledgments: The intellectual foundations for this study build upon a collaborative partnership developed over many years, producing a series of earlier books jointly written by the authors for Cambridge University Press which have compared gender equality in politics, political communications, and religion around the world. Pippa Norris's research for this study has been generously supported by the research award of the Kathleen Fitzpatrick Australian Laureate from the Australian Research Council. The Electoral Integrity Project is based at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government and the Department of Government and International Relations at the University of Sydney"--
"Authoritarian populist parties have advanced in many countries, and entered government in states as diverse as Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Switzerland. Even small parties can still shift the policy agenda, as demonstrated by UKIP's role in catalyzing Brexit. Drawing on new evidence, this book advances a general theory why the silent revolution in values triggered a backlash fuelling support for authoritarian-populist parties and leaders in the US and Europe. The conclusion highlights the dangers of this development and what could be done to mitigate the risks to liberal democracy." -- Publisher's description
