How Democracies Die

Steven Levitsky & Daniel Ziblatt's 'How Democracies Die' — the definitive analysis of democratic backsliding in the modern era. Drawing on historical examples from Europe and Latin America, the authors identify the warning signs of authoritarianism: the four indicators of autocratic behavior, the breakdown of democratic norms, and the failure of political gatekeeping. An essential guide to understanding how democracies erode — not through coups but through gradualism.
