Abstract

A extrema relevância e atualidade deste livro [...] se torna evidente quando consideramos a advertência de Theodor Adorno sobre a persistência das condições objetivas geradoras do fascismo, mesmo no interior de sociedades democráticas. [...] O leitor não terá dificuldade em reconhecer a extrema atualidade deste livro[...], pois sua reflexão repercute problemas que não fazem parte de um passado histórico superado, mas reverberam na sociedade brasileira atual, sob o impulso da catástrofe ética e social representada pelo bolsonarismo recente. É relevante notar que o início da pesquisa de doutorado que originou a presente obra, data do ano de 2017, época em que o ovo da serpente estava sendo lentamente gestado, trans- parecendo na mentalidade moralmente perniciosa do movimento "Escola sem partido". [...] Um dos grandes méritos da reflexão exposta neste livro consiste em desmistificar a repulsa pública pela esfera da política, que em si mesma integra o conjunto de sintomas da síndrome fascista. Ao contrário da mentalidade de recusa da política, o autor realça a urgência de uma politização autêntica e autônoma da esfera do poder, para que se torne possível um exercício público potencialmente resistente à disseminação da barbárie. [...] Hannah Arendt [...] nos lembra que "política" é a esfera do debate público entre diferentes, movido pela perspectiva de um mundo comum. A verdadeira política se traduz no exercício da liberdade potencialmente voltada para o rompimento do estado de exceção que na realidade atual silencia o debate público e massacra todos aqueles que representam a diferença. [...] O fascista [...] não deseja conservar nada, pois seu desejo, reprimido, ou muitas vezes declarado, se dirige à destruição de tudo aquilo que for possível, desde a vida das pessoas que existem à margem da normalidade social, até as próprias instituições democráticas. [...] Em sintonia com as reflexões de Theodor Adorno, Hannah Arendt, e outros pensadores voltados para a crítica do fascismo, [...] para entender o que é a educação, nesta obra, devemos nos afastar dos aspectos instrumentais muito presentes na escola, buscando compreender esse termo como sinônimo de formação do espírito, em sentido contrário à barbárie. [...] Os leitores que estiverem sintonizados com uma compreensão ampla da educação, voltada para a desbarbarização e pacificação da sociedade, e sobretudo dirigida ao combate a todo tipo de preconceito, saberão encontrar neste livro uma obra de leitura intelectualmente estimulante, esclarecedora e prazerosa.

Abstract

The rise of authoritarian, nationalist forms of populism and the implications for rural actors and settings is one of the most crucial foci for critical agrarian studies today, with many consequences for political action. Authoritarian Populism and the Rural World reflects on the rural origins and consequences of the emergence of authoritarian and populist leaders across the world, as well as on the rise of multi-class mobilisation and resistance, alongside wider counter-movements and alternative practices, which together confront authoritarianism and nationalist populism. The book includes 20 chapters written by contributors to the Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (ERPI), a global network of academics and activists committed to both reflective analysis and political engagement. Debates about 'populism', 'nationalism', 'authoritarianism' and more have exploded recently, but relatively little of this has focused on the rural dimensions. Yet, wherever one looks, the rural aspects are key - not just in electoral calculus, but in understanding underlying drivers of authoritarianism and populism, and potential counter-movements to these. Whether because of land grabs, voracious extractivism, infrastructural neglect or lack of services, rural peoples' disillusionment with the status quo has had deeply troubling consequences and occasionally hopeful ones, as the chapters in this book show. The chapters in this book were originally published in The Journal of Peasant Studies.

Abstract

"This handbook offers a comprehensive analysis of the processes and actors contributing to autocratization in South Asia. It provides an enhanced understanding of the interconnectedness of the different states in the region, and how that may be related to autocratization. The book analyses issues of state power, the support for political parties, questions relating to economic actors and sustainable economic development, the role of civil society, questions of equality and political culture, political mobilization, the role of education and the media, as well as topical issues such as the Covid pandemic, environmental issues, migration, and military and international security. Structured in five sections, contributions by international experts describe and explain outcomes at the national level in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. The final section analyses conditions for democracy and autocratization and how they are affected by the interplay of political forces at the international level in this region. - India - Building and ethnic state? - Pakistan - The decline of civil liberties - Bangladesh - Towards one-party rule - Sri Lanka - The resilience of the ethnic state - How to comprehend autocratization in South Asia - Three broad perspectives This innovative handbook is the first to describe and to explain ongoing trends of autocratization in South Asia, demonstrating that drivers of political change also work across boundaries. It is an important reference work for students and researchers of South Asian Studies, Asian Studies, Area Studies, and Political Science"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

This collection provides the history and background necessary to understand authoritarianism in countries ranging from Russia to eSwatini and from Brazil to the Philippines, as well as conceptual lenses for understanding authoritarianism and resistance to it, specific practical experiences of establishing international solidarity and debates emerging from that imperative. Its chapters cover the convergence of politics with the organisation of labour under authoritarianism, the use of labour laws and institutions to suppress labour, alternatives to conventional trade unions where unions are co-opted or banned, and the treatment of refugees in unequal labour markets. This book will appeal to labour activists, scholars and workers everywhere. With contributions by Cecilia Brighi, Ramon Certeza, Claire Ceruti, Dr. Frank Hoffer, Elaine Sio-ieng Hui, Can Kaya, Başak Kocadost, Svetlana Kolganova, Kaye Liang, Lizaveta Merliak, Christopher Mung, Moreblessing Nyambara, Yury Ravavoi, Melisa Serrano, Fundizwi Sikhondze, Jana K. Silverman, Verna Dinah Viajar and Khaing Zar Aung.

Abstract

This book presents an interdisciplinary understanding of the social and economic drivers of far-right politics in South Asia. In response to the growth of xenophobia, reactionary nationalism, authoritarianism, and aggressive leadership in the region, it examines both the religious and economic conditions that have encouraged far-right populism and the profit-driven capitalist systems it produces. The book also delves into the unique histories of South Asia, along with the region's religious and cultural traditions, to provide context for broader economic and political trends and shed light on the consolidation of wealth and growing inequality. The book thoroughly explores the economic and political transformation of South Asia resulting from far-right populism, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of political economy and South Asian studies. Bhabani Shankar Nayak is Professor of Business Management at the University for the Creative Arts, UK. Debadrita Chakraborty is a Researcher at the Cardiff University, UK and Assistant Professor, UPES, India.

Abstract

This book challenges the assumption that authoritarianism is a phenomenon located at the level of the state, and that states as a whole are therefore either democratic or authoritarian. It offers a framework for recognizing and analysing contemporary manifestations of authoritarianism beyond the state, alongside a number of empirical case studies.
