Brexit and liberal democracy : populism, sovereignty, and the nation-state / Amir Ali. - Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2022. - 1 online resource (ix, 148 pages)

"This book analyses Brexit in the larger context of the crisis in liberal democracies and the continuing rise of 'nationalism'. With electoral verdicts favouring right-wing populists across the world, the volume argues that Brexit becomes a key event in understanding global political currents, as well as emerges as a watershed moment in the current political climate. The author focuses on the underlying currents that shaped the Brexit vote and delineates the various strands of arguments that inform the current political climate. The volume also locates the deepening divide within the discourse and understanding of democracy, as well the abysmally low level of rhetoric informing the debates around it. Further, it links this up with other 'nationalist' waves across the world, including South Asia. A nuanced reading of a key event, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics, especially political theory, political sociology, and history"--
