Age of Emergency

Discover a timely, illuminating study of crisis and power with Age of Emergency (N/A) by Erik Linstrum. This compelling volume cuts through headlines to explore how states mobilize authority in moments of danger — and how those choices reshape politics, rights, and daily life.

Linstrum combines clear, accessible prose with rigorous scholarship to trace the patterns of emergency governance that echo across democracies and authoritarian states alike. Readers will find thoughtful analysis of how public health scares, security threats, and sudden upheavals expand surveillance, alter civil liberties, and leave lasting institutional change. Ideal for anyone curious about crisis response, policy makers, students of political history, and concerned citizens.

What makes this book essential today is its global relevance: whether you’re reading from the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, or beyond, Linstrum’s insights help explain why some emergency measures endure while others erode public trust. The narrative balances big-picture interpretation with vivid examples, making complex ideas accessible without sacrificing depth.
