AVAILABLE NOW: a new book by Ronald Inglehart "Cultural Evolution"
A new book by Ronald Inglehart "Cultural Evolution: People's Motivations are Changing, and Reshaping the World" (2018). The book presents the evolutionary modernization theory, a new interpretation of what drives political and social change. It tests the implications of this theory against survey data from over 100 countries, surveyed from 1981 to 2014. The book presents the findings in discussions based on graphs rather than using equations and statistical tables.

Cultural Backlash: Trump, Brexit, and Authoritarian Populism - a New Book by Pippa Norris and Ronald Inglehart
Authoritarian populist parties have advanced in many countries, and entered government in states as diverse as Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Switzerland. Even small parties can still shift the policy agenda, as demonstrated by UKIP's role in catalyzing Brexit. Drawing on new evidence, this book advances a general theory why the silent revolution in values triggered a backlash fuelling support for authoritarian-populist parties and leaders in the US and Europe. The conclusion highlights the dangers of this development and what could be done to mitigate the risks to liberal democracy.
