Global Authoritarianism: Perspectives and Contestations from the South - Paperback

We are witnessing a worldwide resurgence of reactionary ideologies and movements, combined with an escalating assault on democratic institutions and structures. Nevertheless, most studies of these phenomena remain anchored in a methodological nationalism, while comparative research is almost entirely limited to the Global North. Yet, authoritarian transformations in the South -- and the struggles against them -- have not only been just as dramatic as those in the North but also preceded them, and consequently have been studied by Southern scholars for many years.
