Sobre este título
The collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 ushered in an era of tremendous political optimism: communism was receding and democracy was on the march in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and much of Asia. Even surviving communist regimes were adopting capitalism, and the stagflation of the 1970s and industrial strife of the1980s were in the rearview mirror.
Four decades later, euphoria has given way to resentment and pessimism. Britain left the EU, Donald Trump’s populist crusade gained him the White House not once, but twice, and right-wing parties have gained power across Europe and other parts of the world on a scale not seen since the 1930s. What happened?
In After the Fall, pre-eminent political scientist Ian Shapiro argues that the current crisis was far from inevitable. Politicians made consistently bad choices on topics ranging from NATO’s future to the War on Terror to humanitarian intervention and the governance of their economies. In doing so, they fostered a crisis of confidence in political institutions, empowered anti-system parties and candidates, and produced a new Cold War as dangerous as the last.
By scrutinizing the roads not taken by politicians in the past, Shapiro maps out what better futures might still be possible.
Resumo da Crítica
“Ian Shapiro’s powerful and arresting book explains just how and why the politics of Europe and North America have come to be so confused, so acrimonious, and so dangerous over the last few decades. Its focus is on a small number of fateful decisions, any of which could readily have been avoided. Since the damage they have inflicted now threatens everyone and those who have lost from it so drastically outnumber those who have gained, it shows something surprising, of immense political importance and the greatest urgency.”—John Dunn, University of Cambridge
