Produktbeschreibung

Can a charismatic political leader directly influence the formation of national pride? What influence do leaders have on the formation of nationalist groups, and the concept of a 'nation' as a whole? Political Leadership, Nations and Charisma applies the Weberian concept of 'charisma' in the study of nations and leaders. It examines authority and oratory as tools to secure nationalist aims. It focues on leaders ranging from Abraham Lincold to Jorg Haider to provide a global and comparative study of charismatic leadership and its associations with perceived, symbolic and assumed national characteristics. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of political communication and nationalism studies.
