Description
How Democracies Die explores the history of democratic collapse and the lessons that can be applied to the present day. Drawing on insights from across history, including Chile and Turkey, the book examines the factors that contribute to the erosion of democratic norms and the ways in which leaders can subvert them.
Levitsky and Ziblatt argue that a key factor in the failure of democracies is the failure to uphold democratic norms and institutions. They also highlight the importance of civic participation and the need for institutional restraints to prevent the concentration of power.
This timely and thought-provoking book provides a guide for defending democratic rights and offers a nuanced understanding of the challenges facing democracies in the 21st century.
