More Description
With case studies from the US, UK, Latin America, Finland, Hong Kong and Indonesia, this book looks at constructions of populism from the left and right of the political spectrum and addresses the challenges for how community development can work with populist political forms and leaders.
Using international perspectives and case studies, this book discusses the relationships between community development and populism in the context of today's widespread crisis of democracy.
It investigates the development, meanings and manifestations of contemporary forms of populism and explores the synergies and contradictions between the values and practices of populism and community development.
Contributors examine the ways that the ascendancy of right-wing populist politics is influencing the landscapes within which community development is located and they offer new insights on how the field can understand and respond to the challenges of populism.
