Table of ContentsReviews"Given the precarious health of democracies, Dark Politics is a generous contribution that deserves the most attention. The list of detrimental outcomes associated with dark leadership in contemporary politics is worrying and requires efficacious remedies. * Gian Vittorio Caprara, Sapienza University of Rome * What do political leaders as apparently diverse as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Rodrigo Duterte have in common? This book advances the notion that they share a trio of similar inherent personality traits-including narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, which forms the central notion of 'dark politicians'. In a global comparison, using cross-national expert assessments and experimental data, Nai and Maier's study provides fresh insights into the leadership pathologies undermining liberal democracies today. * Pippa Norris, Harvard University * Nai and Maier provide a novel and fascinating account of the relevance of politicians' personality traits for democratic engagement and representation. Moreover, they demonstrate the prevalence of ""dark"" traits amongst elected officials and offer a timely warning about some of the correlates of dark politicians, including negativity and incivility, polarization and cynicism, and democratic deconsolidation. * Stuart Soroka, University of California, Los Angeles *" Author InformationAlessandro Nai is Associate Professor of Political Communication at the University of Amsterdam.
