كيف تنتهي الديمقراطية

How ​​will democracy end? What will replace it? A leading political scientist examines the past, present, and future of a threatening political philosophy. Since the end of World War II, the spread of democracy around the world has seemed inevitable. Today, however, it appears to be in grave danger, even in some of the world's most stable democracies. How bad could things get? In his book How Democracy Ends, David Runciman argues that we are stuck in outdated twentieth-century ideas about the failure of democracy. By focusing on coups and violence, we focus on the wrong threats. Our societies are too rich, too old, and too interconnected to collapse as they have in the past. We need new ways of thinking about the unthinkable — a 21st-century vision of the end of democracy, and whether its collapse will allow us to move forward toward something better.
