The Great Recession, institutional dysfunction, a growing divide
between urban and rural prospects, and failed efforts to
effectively address immigration have paved the way for a populist
backlash that disrupts the postwar bargain between political elites
and citizens. Whether today's populism represents a corrective to
unfair and obsolete policies or a threat to liberal democracy
itself remains up for debate. Yet this much is clear: these
challenges indict the triumphalism that accompanied liberal
democratic consolidation after the collapse of the Soviet Union. To
respond to today's crisis, good leaders must strive for inclusive
economic growth while addressing fraught social and cultural
issues, including demographic anxiety, with frank attention.
Although reforms may stem the populist tide, liberal democratic
life will always leave some citizens unsatisfied. This is a
permanent source of vulnerability, but liberal democracy will
endure so long as citizens believe it is worth fighting for.
