Edited by DEMRES members Matthijs Lok and Robin de Bruin, alongside Stefan Couperus, Rachel McElroy White and Marjet Brolsma, this book is an important contribution to the study of democratic erosion.

Transnational Antiliberal Practices

The book brings together a collection of essays focusing on cross-cultural and globalised transnational antiliberal practices, including, but also looking beyond, the European experience.

The first half explores the historical context, identifying the extent to which modern antiliberalisms build on older patterns, traditions and ideas. The second half uses a variety of case studies to build a theoretical approach to antiliberal internationalism, including taking on board the role of colonialism, race, religion and environment to consider how these inform distinct geographies of antiliberalisms over time and across the globe.
