A new book by Goerres and Vanhuysse looks at how population change features in political power, political regime stability and legitimacy, and policy output. This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access. It is the first study of population change and politics that explicitly covers all major global macro regions and it seeks to establish a new sub-field both of demography and political science.

Excerpts:
-
“Political demography takes a major step forward in this volume, whose global scope is unprecedented. This book is filled with essential findings for all scholars of politics and development.”
— Jack A. Goldstone, Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University, USA -
“This book is a tour de force. Achim Goerres and Pieter Vanhuysse provide the first comprehensive treatment of the interplay of demography and politics around the world over half a century, from silver populations to migration flows, from youth bulges to religions. This is a must-read for everyone concerned about global demographic shifts and the big forces shaping our common future.”
— Tomas Sobotka, Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital, Austria -
Covering every continent, Global Political Demography performs the vital task of bringing together the world's leading scholars of the politics of population change. They help us make sense of the trends that are shaking the foundations of our modern world'.
