'Cultural Backlash is a foundational piece in the burgeoning field
of studies related to the revival of authoritarianism and the rise
of populism in the twenty-first century. But it is also much more
than that. It is not only a book that explains the reasons why some
parties and candidates have been more successful than others, or
about the potential causes and effects of the erosion to liberal
democracy. It is also an unprecedented roadmap to understand the
new political and social fault lines that will likely mark
political representation patterns for years to come. The book is a
landmark in the study of social psychology and voter choice.'
Kenneth Bunker, Democratization
'No book this year has done more to explain our current political
plight than Pippa Norris and Ronald Inglehart's comprehensive study
…' Colin Kidd, New Statesman
'There is a lot to appreciate and admire about Norris and
Inglehart's latest book. Those intrigued by and concerned about
today's political currents in democratic societies can learn a
great deal from Cultural Backlash. I recommend picking it up for
the narrative, reading on for the depth and nuance, and reflecting
on the ideas for inspiration.' Jennifer Fitzgerald, Political
Psychology
'Cultural Backlash is a leader in a crowded field of research on
the origins and implications of populist politics in western
societies. Among many contributions, the book especially adds value
for scholars of international affairs …' Jordan Becker,
International Affairs
'… an argument convincingly buttressed with an impressive amount of
data from several different sources.' Gianfranco Pasquino, The
Political Quarterly
