Reviews
This is an enormously impressive update on what we need to know about democracy. Excellent analysis of democracy's many problems, but also a welcome outline of why we can have hope for a better global future. Really fascinating, insightful, and inspiring. - Arend Lijphart, former President of the American Political Science Association Extremely timely and relevant, and likely to remain so. Exceptionally accessible and active for a scholarly book; it is the kind of book which could also have appeal beyond the academic world. - Benjamin Reilly, University of Western Australia, Australia A quite unusual global coverage. Particularly appreciated is the inclusion of India, incredibly misconsidered in many international comparative works on democracy. The style is very clear and appealing for a wide audience beyond the academic circle. - Piero Ignazi, University of Bologna, Italy This is a much-needed introduction to world affairs, one that ably combines themes in comparative and international politics in a thought-provoking way. - Alfred G. Cuzan, The University of West Florida, U.S.A One of the Financial Times' best Economics books of 2020
