Description
When Politics Becomes Personal investigates the relationship between partisan identity and anti-democratic behavior in modern political systems. Author Alexa Bankert analyzes how strong political affiliation can lead individuals to abandon democratic principles and engage in norm-violating actions.
The book examines the psychological and social mechanisms that transform politics from abstract policy disagreements into deeply personal identity conflicts. Through empirical research and case studies, Bankert demonstrates how partisan polarization erodes commitment to democratic institutions and practices.
Part of the Contemporary Social Issues Series, this work provides critical insights into contemporary political polarization and its consequences for democratic governance. It offers readers a comprehensive understanding of why citizens increasingly prioritize partisan loyalty over constitutional principles.
