| Summary/Abstract |
In Western democracies, the political center is straining to hold. A nationalist, populist surge has driven the United Kingdom to vote to leave the European Union; has elected Donald Trump, who ran on a commitment to dismantle the U.S.-led liberal order; and is motivating the rise of right-wing nationalist politicians in Europe such as Marine Le Pen, who if elected as the French president could have sounded the death knell of European integration.
