Reviews
"""The literature on democracy and autocracy has grown immensely in the last decades. It is complex, it spans several social scientific disciplines, and it draws on various sometimes very different methodologies. But this new textbook by Møller and Skaaning makes it simple to understand and joyful to experience. Being able to chart this seemingly impenetrable terrain, with attentiveness to both general patterns and historical detail, is no small feat. There is simply no other book like this out there."" Jan Teorell, Professor of Political Science, Stockholm University, Sweden ""Whether we live under democracy or not, whether our democracies are in crisis and deliver certain goods, whether democracies are becoming autocracies, are key questions of our times. And Møller and Skaaning’s engaging up-to-date book discusses concepts, theories and empirical analyses that help us make sense of our world. A sophisticated but accessible introduction to a complex topic by two experts in the field."" Gerardo L. Munck, Professor of Political Science and International Relations, University of Southern California, USA"
