Description

The Politics of Mass Society examines the social foundations required for democracy and the risks that large-scale societies face when vulnerable to totalitarian movements. This Social Science Classics Series edition explores how mass movements mobilise alienated populations who reject established institutional legitimacy and seek systemic change. Rather than emphasising psychological explanations favoured in European mass movement theory, Kornhauser argues persuasively that social order represents the decisive variable. The work identifies which population segments remain most susceptible to mass mobilisation and provides critical insight into how democratic societies can fortify their institutions against extremist appeal. Essential reading for students of sociology, political theory, and social history.

Key Features

Kornhauser's The Politics of Mass Society published by Routledge in the Social Science Classics Series examines totalitarian vulnerabilities in large-scale democratic societies.

This sociology text challenges prevailing psychological approaches to mass movements by prioritising social order and institutional factors as primary determinants.

The book analyses alienation, legitimacy deficits, and systemic rejection as drivers of mass mobilisation across contemporary societies.

Routledge's Transaction Publishers edition serves academics, postgraduate students, and researchers in political theory and social science disciplines.
