Softcover. Etat : As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. In this epic narrative of the events that have shaped our own times, Simon Reid-Henry shows how liberal democracy, and Western history with it, was profoundly re-imagined when the postwar Golden Age ended. As the institutions of liberal rule were reinvented, a new generation of politicians emerged: Thatcher, Reagan, Mitterrand, Kohl. The late twentieth-century heyday they oversaw carried the Western democracies triumphantly to victory in the C old War and into the economic boom of the 1990s. But equally it led them into the fiasco of Iraq, to the high drama of the financial crisis in 2007/8, and ultimately to the anti-liberal surge of our own times. The present crisis of liberalism enjoins us to revisit these as yet unscripted decades. The era we have all been living through is closing out, democracy is turning on its axis once again. As this panoramic history poignantly reminds us, the choices we make going forward require us first to come to terms with where we have been.

Paperback. Etat : New. With the triumph of liberal democracy proclaimed at the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 seeming less assured today, this study traces the changing political character of the last 50 years. In three parts, it surveys the rise of neoliberal economics in the 1970s; the unrestrained globalization of the 1990s; and the challenges posed by 9/11, the 2008 economic crisis, the ascendancy of China, and growing authoritarian movements within Western democracies.
