<p><b>THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED FOLLOW-UP TO INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER <i>HOW DEMOCRACIES DIE </i>- essential reading ahead of the 2024 US election</b></p><p><b>'Just like their previous work, this book is concise, readable, and convincing'</b> Anne Applebaum, author of Twilight of Democracy</p><p><i>-------------------------------------</i></p><p><b>How has democracy become so threatened - and what can we do to save it?</b></p><p>With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, <i>How Democracies Die</i>, a global bestseller, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent new framework for understanding the dangerous times we live in. They draw on a wealth of examples - from the Capitol riots, to Edwardian Britain, from 1930s France to present-day Thailand - to explain why political parties turn against democracy, and how to see when this will happen.</p><p>In this razor-sharp analysis, Levitsky and Ziblatt offer in particular an urgent warning about right-wing efforts to undermine the very foundations of the American political system. Multiracial democracy is something few societies have ever achieved - but even the prospect of this change can spark an authoritarian backlash whose dangerous effects will resonate long into the future. Donald Trump's astonishing lead in the run-up to the Republican nomination, even after his indictment and imprisonment on charges of election interference, is evidence of that.</p><p>With its attention on factors from election losses to demographic change and voting rights, its urgent call for a reform of our politics to balance the need for majority rule with the need for minority protections, and a citizens' movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it's too late, <i>Tyranny of the Minority </i>is a must-read for everyone keen to see more vibrant democracy - and to understand where future threats may come from.</p><p><i>-------------------------------------</i></p><p><b>'Provocat
