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.
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.

世界上沒有完美的製度,隻有抗造程度之分。即便是被尊為典範的美國民主,也需要政黨和政治傢(政客?)們用寬容、忍耐和剋製來嗬護。 當大傢的行事哲學都變成“寜要選票,不要原則”“凡是敵人支持的,我們就反對”,那麼大廈的傾圮也就沒有那麼不可想象瞭。
评分POL4184 chapter378 川普的反民主特徵,兩黨如何做瞭democracy backsliding
评分political parties are democracy's gatekeepers. Democracy work best and survive longest in countries where written rules are reinforced by unwritten rules, two of which are fundamental to a functioning democracy: mutual toleration and institutional forbearance. erosion of norms. Trump against both formal and informal rules. racial religi,eco-inequal
评分感覺像是看瞭個故事會。)作者強調美國的民主建立在兩黨互相容忍和剋製這兩條unwritten rule的基礎上,現在這些規則正在逐漸被兩黨尤其是共和黨拋棄。但正如作者在結尾處提到美國的這些民主規則大部分時間是建立在種族排斥的基礎上的,現在兩黨的對立和極化的根源在於美國民眾在種族和宗教問題上的對立,以及國際環境的影響。作者關注和強調的是民主的(政黨)製度基礎,但討論過程卻顯示著民主的基礎還是社會。
评分聽書。給西方社會敲敲警鍾吧。
