LIBERAL DEMOCRACY IN CRISIS - ALEN TOPLISEK GEB...

This book rethinks resistance against neoliberalism in the context of the crisis of Western
liberal democracy and the rise of new radical left parties in Europe. Drawing upon a wide range
of methodological approaches in contemporary political and social theory  it explores how the
aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis represents the opening of possibilities for resistance
and examines the structural hurdles facing radical politics in effectively challenging
neoliberalism. The author challenges the dominant conceptions of democratic politics by
critically interrogating the role of liberalism in the depoliticisation of governing and the
neoliberal restructuring of the democratic role of the state. The trajectory of new radical
left parties in Slovenia  Greece and Spain is used to demonstrate the need to overcome the
binary divide between institutional politics and resistance in radical political theory and
practice.
