Solicitation of Contributions:

            This multi-disciplinary initiative seeks to bring together scholarship and critical cometary on the new authoritarianism. In a series of titles to be published by Springer Press, we are seeking contributions from a wide range of individuals in the behavioral and social sciences, political theory, cultural studies, economics, and the law. It is anticipated that this sustained program of work can assist in shaping the dialog concerning the conflict between autocratic and liberal democratic systems of governance. Importantly, this initiative seeks to enhance the critical analysis of the challenges inherent to non-democratic forms of governance during a period of unparalleled global change and challenge.

 Submissions can be made from December 1, 2024 until April 1, 2025. We anticipate working with nine month cycle for initial submissions to final edits.
