Rezensionen

"Unlike books that reduce rightwing populism in the global south to a few scattered footnotes, Antony Pereira's edited volume illustrates the advantages of putting Jair Bolsonaro and Latin American rightwing populism at the center of comparative analysis. Right-wing Populism in Latin American and Beyond appeals to readers interested in theoretical, normative, and political-economic debates. Using cases from Latin America, Asia, Europe, and U.S. the contributors to this volume offer novel conceptual insights focusing on the political economy of rightwing populism, its relationships with civil society, its impact on democracies, and on how and why populists politicized and mismanaged the COVID 19 epidemic."

Carlos de la Torre, editor of The Routledge Handbook of Global Populism

"This is a timely volume on right-wing populism and its current challenge to democracy. Initial chapters discuss the thorny problem of defining populism, followed by rich empirical chapters on a wide range of cases. Though centrally focused on Latin America, the volume is impressive in its broadly comparative approach, encompassing cases in Western Europe and the Philippines, as well as special attention to India and Brazil. A final empirical section presents valuable and wide-ranging perspectives on Bolsonaro's pernicious approach to COVID politics in Brazil. A welcome contribution combining deep case knowledge with comparative insights."

Ruth Berins Collier, Heller Professor of the Graduate School, Department of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley

"This timely and incisive volume will be required reading for students of right wing populism and all concerned about the fate of contemporary democracies. The illuminating scholarly contributions by leading experts assembled by Anthony Pereira offer a wealth of new insights into right wing authoritarian movements in Brazil, the rest of Latin America and beyond."
