"How Democracies Die" by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt is a thought-provoking exploration into the mechanisms that threaten democratic societies from within. Drawing on historical examples and contemporary case studies, the authors argue that democracies seldom collapse through dramatic coups or outside forces, but rather erode gradually due to internal decay. Levitsky and Ziblatt, both Harvard professors specializing in political science, meticulously dissect the critical warning signs that indicate a democracy in peril. Their analysis is not merely academic but serves as a clarion call for vigilance and proactive measures to safeguard democratic institutions.
The book begins by examining the subtle subversion of democratic norms and institutions, emphasizing the role of political elites in undermining democratic processes for their own gains. Levitsky and Ziblatt demonstrate how the erosion of mutual tolerance and institutional forbearance can pave the way for autocratic leaders to rise to power within ostensibly democratic systems. They further explore how the breakdown of democratic norms, such as respect for the rule of law and the legitimacy of political opposition, can lead to a gradual normalization of authoritarian behavior. Through a comparative analysis of historical democracies that have succumbed to authoritarianism, the authors highlight the universal patterns and warning signs that indicate a democracy's vulnerability to erosion.
