Politicshock

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Meghnad Desai in his 2017 release, Politicshock, comprising 216 pages of compelling analysis on today's shifting political landscape. This book delves into the recent upheavals that have challenged the long-standing Liberal Order, particularly in the wake of monumental events such as Donald Trump's election and the Brexit referendum.

Desai explores how these pivotal moments have not only alarmed commentators but have also led to the emergence of fringe political parties across Europe, including in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Greece. Furthermore, the rise of Narendra Modi and the 'Hindu nationalist' Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in India presents similar concerns, mirroring sentiments felt in Western politics. Politicshock invites readers to engage critically with contemporary issues in democracy and international relations, making it an essential read for anyone interested in world politics.
