'Remarkable. A thoughtful and perceptive book.' - Jeremy Hunt,
Chancellor of the Exchequer The world is currently experiencing the
lowest levels of democracy we have seen in over thirty years.
Autocracy is on the rise, and while the cost of autocracy seems
evident, it nevertheless remains an attractive option to many.
While leaders like Viktor Orban disrupt democratic foundations from
within, autocrats like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin do so from
abroad, eroding democratic institutions and values and imperilling
democracies that appear increasingly fragile. There are even those
who, disillusioned with the current institutions in place,
increasingly think authoritarianism can deliver them a better life
than democracy has or could. They're wrong. Autocracy is not the
solution - better democracy is. But we have to make the case for
it. We have to combat institutional rot by learning from one
another, and, at times, from our rivals. And we have to get our own
houses in order. Only then can we effectively stand up for
democratic values around the world and defeat the dictators.
