For almost a decade, Freedom House's annual survey has highlighted
a decline in democracy in most regions of the globe. While some
analysts draw upon this evidence to argue that the world has
entered a "democratic recession," others dispute that
interpretation, emphasizing instead democracy's success in
maintaining the huge gains it made during the last quarter of the
twentieth century. Discussion of this question has moved beyond
disputes about how many countries should be classified as
democratic to embrace a host of wider concerns about the health of
democracy: the poor economic and political performance of advanced
democracies, the new self-confidence and assertiveness of a number
of leading authoritarian countries, and a geopolitical weakening of
democracies relative to these resurgent authoritarians. In
Democracy in Decline?, eight of the world's leading public
intellectuals and scholars of democracy-Francis Fukuyama, Robert
Kagan, Philippe C Schmitter, Steven Levitsky, Lucan Way, Thomas
Carothers, and editors Larry Diamond and Marc F Plattner-explore
these concerns and offer competing viewpoints about the state of
democracy today. This short collection of essays is essential
reading for anyone wanting to understand the latest thinking on one
of the most critical questions of our era.
