The Authoritarian Nature And The American Electorate
This week at Book Club, two astute political scientists, Jonathan Weiler and Marc Hetherington, join us for discussion of their book Authoritarianism and Polarization in American Politics. Weiler directs undergraduate studies and serves as a professor of International and Area Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Hetherington, a professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University, has written previously on the central role of political trust in the U.S.
Joining the discussion are Paul Rosenberg, Senior Editor at Random Lengths News and weekend frontpage editor at OpenLeft.com; John Sides, Assistant Professor of Political Science at George Washington University; and Bill Bishop, a Texas-based journalist and co-author of The Big Sort.
I'm also the weekend frontpage editor/blogger at OpenLeft.com, where I have a lot more opportunity to write and think out loud about authoritarianism
