Description
Mass Polarization across Time and Space offers a systematic examination of political polarization as a global phenomenon. Isaac D. Mehlhaff analyzes how societies become divided along ideological, ethnic, or partisan lines, exploring the temporal and spatial dimensions of this critical political process.
The book synthesizes comparative evidence from multiple democracies and historical periods to identify the structural conditions and political dynamics that generate mass polarization. Mehlhaff investigates how polarization emerges, intensifies, and sometimes recedes, while considering the implications for democratic governance and social cohesion.
Part of Cambridge University Press’s Elements in Comparative Political Behavior series, this work contributes essential insights for understanding contemporary political divisions and their historical roots across different national contexts.
