About The Book

<p><em>Donald Trump in Historical Perspective: Dead Precedents</em> is a collection of chapters that utilizes the thinking of historians philosophers and political scientists to explore historical parallels to the presidency of Donald J. Trump the 45th President of the United States of America.</p><p>This collection provides an extensive analysis on the ways Trump’s impulsiveness breaking of norms and disregard for longstanding democratic pieties caused him to represent a definitive end to the American century an era when American self-confidence steadiness and leadership even in the face of titanic challenges were almost universally taken for granted. Yet this book also argues how in the longer sweep of history Trump is a familiar figure in the turbulent life of democracies. These in-depth chapters reveal the ways Trump represents the anti-institutionalist the populist demagogue the would-be authoritarian who exploits electoral and political vulnerabilities to gain and hold power. Through these detailed evaluations these chapters suggest that Trump is not radically unique but that democracies have produced many previous versions of the Trump phenomenon.</p><p>This book is essential reading for scholars and students in political science political theory history and leadership. This book is also noteworthy for readers interested in key developments in contemporary American democracy. One of its greatest appeals is its extensive look into leadership on an international scale from Donald Trump’s global significance to various explorations of non-American leaders and the comparisons that can be made.</p>
