Publisher's Synopsis
What happens when a fragile coalition faces an uncompromising populist? A nation unravels.
In 2025, the Netherlands was rocked by a political earthquake. After just eleven months in power, the Dutch coalition government collapsed-triggered by far-right leader Geert Wilders' explosive withdrawal over a hardline asylum proposal. As Europe watched, a country known for stability and consensus spiraled into uncertainty, igniting fierce debates over immigration, nationalism, and the future of democracy.
In The Collapse of the Dutch Government, political analyst Allen C. Woodson delivers a gripping, in-depth account of how a once-solid government unraveled. With clarity and insight, he explores the volatile intersection of coalition politics, populist pressure, and a polarized society.
