On the heels of Sunday’s historic elections in Saxony-Anhalt comes this timely exploration of how democracies an unravel. Even when formal democratic institutions remain, legitimacy can erode, representation can fail, and elite-driven governance can calcify.

Brown and Lubecki draw on a variety of case studies—from Venezuela and Colombia to Hungary and Romania—to understand how democratic procedures can hollow out democracy itself.
