RT Book T1 How democracies die A1 Levitsky, Steven 1968- A2 Ziblatt, Daniel 1972- LA English PP New York PB Broadway Books YR 2019 ED First edition UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1697750141 AB "Donald Trump's presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought we'd be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a bang--in a revolution or military coup--but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. Drawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies die--and how ours can be saved."-- NO Literaturverzeichnis: Seite 235-290 und Index CN JC423 SN 9781524762940 SN 1524762946 SN 9781524762933 K1 Democracy K1 Political Culture K1 Democracy : United States K1 Political Culture : United States K1 POLITICAL SCIENCE ; American Government ; General K1 POLITICAL SCIENCE ; Political Ideologies ; Democracy K1 POLITICAL SCIENCE ; Political Ideologies ; Fascism & Totalitarianism K1 Politics and government K1 United States K1 United States : Politics and government : 2017-
