Description

Multiple authors in Democracy in Decline? debate the state of global democracy. Some argue that democracy is experiencing a decline, citing factors like weak state capacity, geopolitical shifts, and the poor performance of established democracies. Others contend that this is a misleading perception, highlighting the resilience of existing democracies and ongoing institutional reforms. The book's contributors analyze various factors influencing democratic trends, including economic development, the role of international actors, and the impact of technological changes. A central theme is the complex relationship between state-building, democratization, and the challenges faced by democracy promotion efforts. Ultimately, the book presents a nuanced and multifaceted view of the current state and future prospects of global democracy.
