Colin Crouch

Internationally renowned political scientist and sociologist Colin Crouch coined the term “post-democracy” in 2000, and it only seems to gain in relevance in the current crisis. As a critic of neoliberalism, he argues for strengthening social democracy. Crouch was a professor of sociology at Oxford University and of Governance and Public Management at the University of Warwick. He is a fellow of the British Academy and External Scientific Member at the Max-Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne. In 2012 he received the Political Book Award of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
