Politics of Fear

Fear mongering has become a manipulative and violent political platform.

We’re building this Resource page for local and state politicians, national leaders and parliaments around the world to help leaders better understand its abuse and depreciate its value.

Please find below articles, some books, groups, and online resources dealing with the politics of fear from varying perspectives such as religion, race, gender and sexuality, nationality, culture, economics, and others, and from the perspective of different disciplines like psychology, anthropology, history, etc.
