O knihe

This volume sheds light on the complex global landscape of autocracy's ascent and its profound impact on climate change response. Split into three sections, the book discusses pathways leading to the global rise of autocracies. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, the first section presents the conceptual framework surrounding the surge of autocracy and the erosion of democracy. It investigates diverse facets such as dictatorship, authoritarianism, populist movements, and the nuances of 'restricted' and 'good' democracies.

In the second section, the focus shifts to the root causes and the worldwide propagation of autocracy and democracy backsliding. It analyzes the challenges these trends pose for a sustainable future, a topic rarely explored from a multidisciplinary perspective. The book engages with critical discussions on green authoritarianism, the erosion of social capital through political entrepreneurship, and the authoritarian politics of climate change.

The third section examines the impact of eroding democracy on the natural environment and the sustainability concerns during the climate change era as viewed through a humanities lens.  

For scholars, students, policymakers, and activists in fields such as autocracy, democracy, political sociology, international relations, and sustainability, this book provides invaluable insights into our evolving world. It presents strategies to navigate climate change adaptation in a changing, less democratic world.
