Description
Summary:	'Flexible Authoritarianism' challenges the idea that the transnational rise of authoritarianism is a backlash against economic globalization and neoliberal capitalism. Flexible authoritarianism - a form of government that simultaneously incentivizes a can-do spirit and suppresses dissent - reflects the resonance between authoritarian and neoliberal ideologies in today's comeback of strongman rule. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, Anna Schwenk critically evaluates how loyalty to the regime - the order underlying political and economic life in a polity - is produced and contested among those young people who seek key positions in politics, business, the public sector, or creative industries.
