'There are hundreds of books on democratic decline and political disaffection, but none of them exposes the emotional dynamics and drivers of fear and frustration, anger and apathy with the precision provided by Weinberg’s Psychology of Democracy. It is destined to become a major reference point for anyone interested in the past, present or future of democracy.'
Matthew Flinders - Founding Director of the Sir Bernard Crick Centre and Professor of Politics at the University of Sheffield, and Vice President of the Political Studies Association, UK
'This is a unique book, by top scholars from across the globe, exploring the fragile nature of democracies from a psychological perspective. It is a must-read for those who want to understand what is happening to democracies from a human behaviour point of view in this profoundly difficult period of history.'
Sir Cary Cooper - Professor of Organisational Psychology, University of Manchester, UK
'Essential reading for students, researchers and laypersons interested to learn and explore how psychological science can contribute in important ways towards strengthening democracy.'
Fathali M. Moghaddam - Professor of Psychology, Georgetown University, USA, and author of Shakespeare and the Experimental Psychologist
'This book forcefully illustrates psychology’s critical contribution to our understanding of democracy as a form of government ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’. Its international team of contributors spans a wide range of topics crucial for revitalizing democracy today.'
Brady Wagoner - Centre for Cultural Psychology, Department of Communication and Psychology, Aalborg University, Denmark
