Life after dictatorship: Authoritarian successor parties worldwide

combined together into one grand strategy, such measures appear to embody what Schmidt describes as the “prince who believes that walls can make him secure against invading foreigners.” From a careful analysis of a classic texts, Reading Politics with Machiavelli derives thought-provoking ideas that destabilize our conception of democratic politics. It is recommended for readers seeking a deeper understanding of Machiavelli, as well as those interested in U.S. politics generally. Schmidt places his own analysis of Machiavelli’s words in the broader academic discourse by referencing the interpretations of other outstanding scholars such as Hanna Pitkin and Louis Althusser. It is also an excellent aid to contemplation of issues in U.S. politics ranging from neoliberalism, to money and politics, to the war on terror to racial injustice, offering an alternative perspective in a time when intellectual discourse is more dominated by quantitative social science than the works of the great political philosophers.
