The End of Politics? by Andreas Schedler
Since communism collapsed we have witnessed the emergence of numerous political actors - neopopulists, neoliberals, fundamentalists, nationalists, and others - who share one ideological leitmotif: their deep contempt for modern democratic politics. The book asks an old question: What is politics? And it adds a new one to the agenda of social sciences: What is antipolitics? Some authors trace antipolitical traditions in Western political thought, while others analyze the rhetoric of contemporary antipolitical actors in the US, the former Soviet Union, and South America. The book contains contributions from Charles H. Fairbanks Jr, Barry Hindess, Erwin A. Jaffe, Norbert Lechner, Jose Nun, Louis Pauly, Andreas Schedler, and Gershon Weiler.Andreas Schedler is Professor of Political Science at the Center for Economic Teaching and Research (CIDE) in Mexico City. He earned his PhD from the University of Vienna. He has conducted research on issues such as anti-political-establishment parties, accountability, democratic consolidation and
transition, elections, and authoritarianism. In the field of methodology, he has worked on concept analysis and cross-national measurement. Between 2000 and 2012, he refounded and reconsolidated the Committee on Concepts and Methods (C&M) of the International Political Science Association (IPSA),
first as its chair then as vice-chair. His articles have appeared in scholarly journals such as Comparative Political Studies, Perspectives on Politics, the Journal of Democracy, the European Journal of Political Research, Party Politics, the Journal of Political Philosophy, and Political
