We are in a new era: authoritarian leaders have become a central feature of global politics. Since 2000, self-styled strongmen have risen to power in capitals as diverse as Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, Brasilia, Budapest, Ankara, Riyadh and Washington. These leaders are nationalists and social conservatives, with little tolerance for minorities, dissent or the interests of foreigners. At home, they claim to be standing up for ordinary people against globalist elites; abroad, they posture as the embodiments of their nations. And everywhere they go, they encourage a cult of personality. What&#8217;s more, these leaders are not just operating in authoritarian political systems but have begun to emerge in the heartlands of liberal democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Author Gideon Rachman Published by The Bodley Head ISBN 9781847926418 EAN 9781847926418 Bic Code  Cover Hardback<\/p>\n<!-- Jellybooks Discovery Plugin: Not on a regular page -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gideon Rachman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32858,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[9354],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-32857","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-politics-current-affairs","8":"first","9":"outofstock","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
