Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, seasoned scholars of democratic failures, turn their attention to the fragility of democracy itself. Drawing upon decades of research across Europe and Latin America, they offer a bracing analysis of how democracies erode, not through dramatic coups, but through the gradual weakening of institutions and the erosion of political norms.
The authors identify warning signs, drawing parallels between historical instances of democratic decline and contemporary challenges. They highlight the importance of understanding these patterns to safeguard free government. Through examples ranging from 1930s Europe to modern-day Hungary, Turkey and Venezuela, they show how democracies can be subverted, and, crucially, how they might be saved. This is an urgent examination of the threats facing democracy today.
