Description

The Rise and Decline of Modern Democracy assesses the rise of, subsequent political challenges to, and decline of, contemporary liberal democratic processes, in particular since the ‘third wave’ of democratization from the 1990s.

Fewer countries are democratic and fewer people, globally, live in substantive democracies. This book examines what democracy is and the circumstances that allowed – even encouraged – it to arise. The question now arises as to whether democracy can continue as a matter of political will. Democracy may survive, as this book concludes, but is likely to do so only with more substantial and conscious commitment to the democratic project, with recognition of the need to replenish the fertility of the political soil in which democracy grows.

This wide-ranging and empirically and theoretically rich book will be of interest to students, scholars and researchers of political science, international relations, history and democracy.
