Description
Democracy in Trouble provides a comprehensive analysis of democratic systems over more than a century, from 1900 to 2022. The authors investigate what makes some democracies resilient in the face of challenges while others succumb to authoritarian breakdown. Through systematic examination of historical cases and contemporary examples, the book explores the structural, institutional, and contextual factors that influence democratic survival and failure.
This Elements volume synthesizes key findings from comparative politics and democratic theory to offer insights into how democracies can strengthen their institutions, protect their norms, and maintain citizen engagement. The work is essential for understanding current threats to democracy worldwide and the mechanisms that can help democratic systems endure during periods of significant political, economic, and social stress.
