How to Save Politics in a Post-Truth Era

This book argues that the relationship between methodology and politics is now more important than ever that politics, if it is anything, is about engaging with people's interpretations and narratives of the world in which they find themselves.

Description

The rise of populism, Donald Trump's election, and the result of the EU referendum in the UK have been widely interpreted as a rejection of the post-war liberal order—an expression of a desire to undermine the political system that people feel has let them down.

Yet, mainstream politicians and analysts have been slow to grasp the changing situation, relying instead on a rhetoric of 'hard data' and narrow economic arguments, while failing to properly engage with the politics of identity. How to Save Politics in a Post-Truth Era argues that the relationship between methodology and politics is now more important than ever.

Politics, if it is anything, is about engaging with people's interpretations and narratives of the world in which they find themselves. In this new 'post-truth' era, politics will require an appreciation of the fact we live in an uncertain world of endless diversity and potential for change.

This thoughtful book addresses how we might think about and do politics in these strange new times.
