Democracy Disadvantage

How Populism Impedes Democracies and Galvanizes Authoritarianism in the Face of Disaster

Beschreibung

Not always an impediment to good governance, populism may sometimes prove advantageous. Grodsky assesses policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in three populist states: the US's democracy, China's non-democracy, and Russia's hybrid regime. This text is essential reading for students of comparative politics, populism, and disaster management.
