The Democratic Regression The Political Causes of Authoritarian Populism

'The Democratic Regression explains why democracy is failing today as a model. Before we continue to push democracy on others, westerners should read and debate this informed, smart, readable book that identifies the fundamental problem and raises important questions about the future of democracy.'
Karen J. Alter, Norman Dwight Harris Professor of International Relations, Northwestern University
 
'This book teaches us a vital lesson. The roots of democracy's ills today are not merely economic or cultural but rather are found within the structure of our democracies themselves: they are simply not democratic enough. The implications are provocative, essential, and far-reaching.'
Daniel Ziblatt, co-author of How Democracies Die
