The Democratization Disconnect

How Recent Democratic Revolutions Threaten the Future of Democracy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The most recent wave of democratic revolutions has convinced many in the West of the triumph of political rights. But Grodsky argues forcefully that nothing could be farther from the truth. As newly democratic regimes turn away from democracy, he clearly shows that they threaten to undermine the still-evolving notion of democratic legitimacy.
