| Description: | Select Guide Rating Przeworski presents a panorama of not only the political threats to democracy, but also the current economic, social, and cultural threats, places them in the context of past crises of democratic regimes, and offers speculations about the prospects. This book is addressed to everyone concerned about the prospects of democracy. Is democracy in crisis? The current threats to democracy are not just political: they are deeply embedded in the democracies of today, in current economic, social, and cultural conditions. In Crises of Democracy, Adam Przeworski presents a panorama of the political situation throughout the world of established democracies, places it in the context of past misadventures of democratic regimes, and speculates on the prospects. Our present state of knowledge does not support facile conclusions. ''We should not believe the flood of writings that have all the answers''. Avoiding technical aspects, this book is addressed not only to professional social scientists, but to everyone concerned about the prospects of democracy. |
