Democracies around the world are facing a concerning trend of decline, with a reversal of "democraticness" observed in many countries. In his insightful book, Democracies in Peril? The author delves into the theoretical foundations of democracy, explores empirical trends, and assesses the current state of democracies. The book examines the concept of "democracy" as a political regime, tracing its development from the liberal democratic model to its present-day manifestations. It also examines the challenges democracies face, including populist tendencies, political polarization, and the erosion of democratic institutions.
The author adopts a "systemic" approach to analyze the effects of this reversal in democratization, considering factors such as popular preferences, party behavior, institutional architecture, and policy performance. The book also explores the role of the state in shaping democratic outcomes and the impact of public policy formation on democratic quality.
Through case studies on the COVID-19 pandemic and the development of social welfare, the author demonstrates the complex relationship between government capacities and the quality of democracy. The book raises important questions about how democracies can cope with societal problems, populist tendencies, and the rapidly changing world without compromising their institutional quality and legitimacy.
Democracies in Peril? is a valuable resource for students, scholars, journalists, and anyone interested in comparative politics, democratization, public administration, political economy, constitutional law, and the social sciences in general. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges facing democracies and offers insights into the strategies for sustaining and strengthening democratic institutions in the face of contemporary challenges.
