The purpose of this volume is to draw on the analytical resources of various disciplines and public policy approaches to reflect on the current standing of liberal democracy. Leading social scientists from different disciplinary backgrounds aim to examine the ideological and structural roots of the current crisis of liberal democracies, in the West and beyond, conceptually and empirically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume is divided into two main parts: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart I explores tensions between liberalism and democracy in a longer-term, historical perspective to explain immanent vulnerabilities of liberal democracy. Authors examine the conceptual foundations of Western liberal democracy that have shaped its standing in the contemporary world. What lies at the core of illiberal tendencies?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart II explores case studies from the North Atlantic, Eastern Europe, Turkey, India, Japan, and Brazil, raising questions whether democratic crises, manifested in the rise of populist movements in and beyond the Western context, differ in kind or only in degree. How can we explain the current popular appeal of authoritarian governments and illiberal ideas?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Emergence of Illiberalism\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great interest to teachers and students of politics, sociology, political theory and comparative government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoris Vormann\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Politics and Director of the Politics Section at Bard College Berlin.
