Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought we’d be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already passed the first one.
Drawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies die—and how ours can be saved.
Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt are Professors of Government at Harvard University. Levitsky’s research focuses on Latin America and the developing world. He is the author of Competitive Authoritarianism and is the recipient of numerous teaching awards. Ziblatt studies Europe from the nineteenth century to the present. He is the author, most recently, of Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy. Both Levitsky and Ziblatt have written for Vox and The New York Times, among other publications.
Democracies can die when guardrails fail to prevent extremists from infiltrating the democratic system. The authors provide an interesting and concise analysis of the collapsing of democracies. Problems: (1) I doubt the effectiveness of relying on parties as gatekeepers. (2) No systemic methodology is presented.
评分听书。给西方社会敲敲警钟吧。
评分scribd上用一个book credit买的audio book。论点很简单:mutual tolerance and institutional forbearance维护了美国民主制度。案例的搜集、谋篇、结构、论述的功力了得!
评分虽然有点标题党但我还是挺喜欢里面具体案例的论述的
评分直接assume democracy是optimal。最值得关注的点是指出了民主的 underlying base:mutual tolerance and institutional forbearance,常常被人们take for granted。也有理有据地预测了post Trump之后,“中年危机”中两党拉扯之下的美国民主将何去何从。
