Biography

Berch Berberoglu is Foundation Professor of Sociology and Director of the Ozmen Institute for Global Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno.

"This important collection of critical essays looks at the emergence and spread of authoritarianism across the world in response to the crisis of neoliberal capitalist globalization over the past decade. Providing a detailed and nuanced analysis of the dynamics and contradictions of this process in a series of case studies covering a number of countries and regions of the world, this book makes an important contribution to our knowledge of the inner-workings of emergent authoritarian regimes in the early 21^st century."

Christopher Chase-Dunn, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Director, Institute for Research on World-Systems, University of California, Riverside

"This timely book on the global rise of authoritarianism makes an important contribution to our understanding of the current turbulent historical moment. It offers in-depth analyses of today’s global capitalist crisis and emergent forms of authoritarianism and fascism that is global in sweep, with chapters authored by scholars who are highly recognized and experts in their fields. The book should be a required text in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses dealing with globalization, political economy, inequality, and comparative-historical study of the state and society in the early twenty-first century."

Walda Katz-Fishman, Professor of Sociology, Howard University

"Over the past two decades, while the United States has been entangled in wars in the Middle East, many countries in Latin America and elsewhere in the world moved to the left. Now, a sharp turn to the right stands in its place across the globe. The times indeed are changing, and The Global Rise of Authoritarianism in the 21^st Century goes a long way toward telling us why. This timely collection of first-rate critical essays, penned by an outstanding cadre of authors and edited by one of academia’s most prolific scholars of great international reputation, is a must read!"

Larry T. Reynolds, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Central Michigan University
