The books offer complementary perspectives on the growing appeal of alternatives to democracy. While \u0160tetka and Mihelj investigate how cultural values and state institutions are being reshaped to constitute an illiberal public sphere, Sonnevend focuses on the personification of global politics, illuminating how the magnetic appeal of charming leaders can reframe their public persona and the international brand of their nations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"528\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/crcc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_864575449_2030113781383_1_original.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/crcc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_864575449_2030113781383_1_original.jpeg 528w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/crcc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_864575449_2030113781383_1_original-214x300.jpeg 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The fascination with illiberal ideas and charming leaders is fused in the media. It is where old values are renegotiated, often leading to prejudices manifested in xenophobia or homophobia. The battle over legacy media ownership is where ideological power struggles play out; when triumphant, illiberal regimes can use state-owned media to manipulate public opinion. Political leaders use social media to construct themselves as authentic representatives of ordinary people, dangerously demarcating those who disagree with them as enemies of the state in illiberal settings. They can perform their nation\u2019s soft power to journalists through smiles and friendly gestures, even if they have no intention of adhering to liberal values.
