Book Series

Routledge Studies in Extremism and Democracy

This new series encompasses academic studies within the broad fields of 'extremism' and 'democracy'. These topics have traditionally been considered largely in isolation by academics. A key focus of the series, therefore, is the (inter-)relation between extremism and democracy. Works will seek to answer questions such as to what extent 'extremist' groups pose a major threat to democratic parties, or how democracy can respond to extremism without undermining its own democratic credentials.

The books encompass two strands. The Routledge Studies in Extremism and Democracy includes books with an introductory and broad focus which are aimed at students and teachers. These books will be available in hardback and paperback. The Routledge Research in Extremism and Democracy offers a forum for innovative new research intended for a more specialist readership. These books will be available in hardback only.

To discuss any ideas or suggestions for new volumes in this book series, please contact the editors Roger Eatwell (University of Bath) and Cas Mudde (University of Antwerp). For any publishing queries please contact Craig Fowlie, the Editor in Politics & Asian Studies at Routledge.
