"The book avails of a series of prominent specialists in the field, and advances an original three-fold set of explanations to deal with the phenomenon of populism." Piero Ignazi, University of Bologna, Italy, and Sciences Po Paris, France"This book provides a very much needed comparative analysis of the rise of the right, by emphasizing both global dynamics and regional specificities. As such, it offers a very promising new perspective, away from the specular mistakes of unilateral generalisations and mere localism. A must read for all those interested in unpacking the puzzle of the global resurgence of right-wing politics." Chiara Bottici, The New School for Social Research, USA"This is a novel contribution to the expanding literature on populism. The editors have put together a collection that is both historical and trans-national. The historical essays combined with the analyses of contemporary cases, particularly Latin America, show that populism is a global challenge that is not likely to disappear soon." Mabel Berezin, Cornell University, USA"While there is a growing academic and public interest in the rise of different forms of (radical) right-wing politics, there are almost no studies that address this topic from a cross-regional perspective. This book closes this research gap by analyzing cases of right-wing politics from Europe and the Americas. Therefore, this is a must read for all those who are interested in understanding the global resurgence of right-wing politics and its specificities at the regional level."
