Description
When Democracy Died examines the Treaty of Lausanne and its profound consequences for political development in the Middle East. Hans-Lukas Kieser provides a detailed analysis of how the 1923 treaty established borders and power structures that would influence the region for decades to come.
The book traces how the post-Lausanne order created conditions that hindered democratic institutions and fostered authoritarian governance. Kieser investigates the intersection of international diplomacy, territorial disputes, and local politics that shaped modern Middle Eastern states. Through historical narratives and scholarly analysis, the work challenges conventional understandings of why democracy has struggled to take root in the region.
Essential reading for those seeking to understand the historical roots of contemporary Middle Eastern politics and the legacy of early 20th-century international agreements.
