Ontological Insecurities and the Politics of Contemporary Populism (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores contemporary populist politics through the lens of ontological security theory. It shows that the 'divisionary politics of populism' is fostered by narratives of crisis and insecurity surrounding the imagined Self that gives shape to 'the people' that populism claims to represent.
