Details

Building on nearly two decades of studying democracy across major global cultures, this book addresses some of the most pressing questions of our time:


  • Is democracy threatened by globalization?
  • Is there a legitimacy crisis in contemporary democracies?
  • Is the welfare state under pressure from global trends?
  • What are the implications of mass migration and rising populism?
  • Does authoritarianism pose a challenge?
