Salvatore Babones is a leading quantitative comparative sociologist known for his incisive research on the political sociology of democracy. With a diverse academic portfolio that includes studies on economic development in post-socialist economies and advanced methods for cross-national comparisons, Babones has authored or edited fourteen books and numerous scholarly articles. He is also a prolific public policy commentator, particularly in Australian higher education, and his book The New Authoritarianism: Trump, Populism, and the Tyranny of Experts was recognized as one of the Wall Street Journal’s Best on Politics in 2018. Currently, Babones is delving into a new research project focused on Indian democracy.
The New Authoritarianism | Trump, Populism and the Tyranny of Experts by Salvatore Babones questions the true sense of democracy and how it has been affected by powerful liberal thinkers who have advanced a global rights-based agenda which has tilted the balance away from the lively and vibrant unpredictability of democratic decision-making toward the creeping technocratic authority of liberal consensus.
