Authoritarianism and How to Counter It
Jordan, Bill.

Authoritarianism and How to Counter It[electronic resource] /by Bill Jordan. - 1st ed. 2020. - X, 144 p.online resource.

1. Introduction -- 2. The New Authoritarianism -- 3. A Coercive State -- 4. Mobility and Migration -- 5. Authoritarianism and Militarism -- 6. Inclusion and Democracy -- 7. Credit and Debt -- 8. Towards Greater Sustainability -- 9. Freedom and Justice for All -- 10. Conclusions.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was assumed that liberal democracies would flourish worldwide. Instead, today authoritarian leaders are gaining power – from Trump’s US and Bolsonaro's Brazil to Orban's Hungary – while Russia and China have turned back towards their old, autocratic traditions. This book examines the origins and implications of this shift, and focusses especially on the longstanding coercion of poor people. As industrial employment, and now also many service jobs, are being replaced through technological innovations, state-subsidised, low-paid, insecure work is being enforced through regimes of benefits cuts and sanctions. Authoritarians are exploiting the divisions in the working class that this creates to stoke resentment against immigrants and poor people. The author identifies new social movements and policies (notably the Universal Basic Income) which could counter these dangers. Bill Jordan is Honorary Professor of Social Policy and Social Work at the University of Plymouth, UK. He has authored more than 25 books on politics, economic and social policy, social work and migration. He held visiting professorships in the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. .
