They draw on a wealth of examples – from the Capitol riots, to Edwardian Britain, from 1930s France to present-day Thailand – to explain why political parties turn against democracy, and how to see when this will happen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this razor-sharp analysis, Levitsky and Ziblatt offer in particular an urgent warning about right-wing efforts to undermine the very foundations of the American political system. Multiracial democracy is something few societies have ever achieved – but even the prospect of this change can spark an authoritarian backlash whose dangerous effects will resonate long into the future. Donald Trump’s astonishing lead in the run-up to the Republican nomination, even after his indictment and imprisonment on charges of election interference, is evidence of that.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith its attention on factors from election losses to demographic change and voting rights, its urgent call for a reform of our politics to balance the need for majority rule with the need for minority protections, and a citizens’ movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it’s too late, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eTyranny of the Minority\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis a must-read for everyone keen to see more vibrant democracy – and to understand where future threats may come from.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e‘Provocative and readable’\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDavid Runciman on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHow Democracies Die\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e'A useful primer on the importance of norms, institutional restraints and civic participation in maintaining a democracy'\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarack Obama on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHow Democracies Die\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Viking Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48328329003258,"sku":"YZI75OGKJ4RQ","price":573.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/YZI75OGKJ4RQ_1.jpg?v=1724934894","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/yzi75ogkj4rq","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
