Routledge Handbook of Illiberalism (Routledge Handbooks)

"This volume is the first authoritative reference work solely dedicated to the various components of illiberalism. Illiberalism is most often discussed in political and constitutional terms, yet illiberalism is rooted in society and cannot be limited to only political or legal treatment. Illiberal trends are present all over the world and are not fixed to one era. This Handbook comprises over sixty individual chapters, each dedicated to different aspects of the same phenomenon, presented through the lens of different disciplines and authored by an internationally recognized expert in the field. It charts all representative countries and regions where illiberalism is present and deals with the most important historical antecedents. The Routledge Handbook of Iliberalism will form an important component of any librarys holding and will be of benefit as an academic reference, as well as being of practical value to anyone who wishes to gain a clear understanding of the concepts required to explain this conundrum"--
