Description
Discover the compelling analysis of Donald Trump's unexpected victory in the 2016 presidential election with 'The Trump Revolt.' This insightful book delves into the dynamics of Trump's prolonged campaign, exploring the ideological shifts that shaped the Trump platform. Written by experts from Manchester University Press, it chronicles the electoral transformations in traditional Democratic strongholds and examines the reactions of Republican Party elites during this pivotal time in American politics. As a prime example of right-wing populism, 'The Trump Revolt' uniquely argues that the sentiments fueling Trump's ascent were influenced not just by economic disparities and racial tensions, but also by deep-seated frustrations with the American political system. The book's critical assessment extends to how Trump's win, alongside rising populist movements in Europe, signals a potential transformation in neoliberal policies.

Description:
This book considers the reasons for Donald Trump's surprise victory in the 2016 presidential election. It charts the prolonged campaign and the realigning processes that took place, analysing the ideas that defined the Trump platform, the electoral shifts in states regarded as solid 'firewalls' for the Democratic Party and the responses of Republican Party elites.
Although he is subject to contradictory pressures, the book places Trump firmly within the right-wing populist tradition. However, it argues that the sentiments that drove his campaign were not only a response to economic fears, high levels of inequality and racial resentment - they were also shaped by the structural character of American governance, which fuels hostility towards Washington DC and the 'political class'.
The book concludes by assessing the extent to which Trump's victory and parallel developments in Europe mark a reconfiguration of neoliberalism. -- .
