Takis Pappas’s new book “Explaining Trump” has been published by Patakis Publishers.
From the book’s back cover:
What times we are living in! Before our very eyes, a single person is dismantling the liberal democracy of his country with staggering speed and establishing a new illiberal political regime. And this country is not just any country — it is the United States, the world’s most powerful democracy. And that concerns all of us. We are already living in a new historical era, on the threshold between democracy and authoritarianism. This book, combining in an original way three fundamental political concepts — charismatic leadership, populism, and liberal democracy — explains how and why we reached this point. It focuses on the nature of the new American regime and then poses the crucial question: which path will democracies take from here on?
