ABOUT HOW DEMOCRACIES DIE

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Comprehensive, enlightening, and terrifyingly
timely.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)

WINNER OF THE GOLDSMITH BOOK PRIZE • SHORTLISTED FOR THE LIONEL GELBER PRIZE •
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Time • Foreign
Affairs • WBUR • Paste

Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought
we’d be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky
and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of
democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes.
Democracy no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but with a
whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the
judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political
norms. The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to
authoritarianism. The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already
passed the first one.

Drawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global
examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to
the American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies
die—and how ours can be saved.

Praise for How Democracies Die

“What we desperately need is a sober, dispassionate look at the current state of
affairs. Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, two of the most respected scholars
in the field of democracy studies, offer just that.”—The Washington Post

“Where Levitsky and Ziblatt make their mark is in weaving together political
science and historical analysis of both domestic and international democratic
crises; in doing so, they expand the conversation beyond Trump and before him,
to other countries and to the deep structure of American democracy and
politics.”—Ezra Klein, Vox

“If you only read one book for the rest of the year, read How Democracies Die. .
. .This is not a book for just Democrats or Republicans. It is a book for all
Americans. It is nonpartisan. It is fact based. It is deeply rooted in history.
. . . The best commentary on our politics, no contest.”—Michael Morrell, former
Acting Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (via Twitter)

“A smart and deeply informed book about the ways in which democracy is being
undermined in dozens of countries around the world, and in ways that are
perfectly legal.”—Fareed Zakaria, CNN

ABOUT HOW DEMOCRACIES DIE

Two Harvard professors explain the dangerous world we face today

Democracies can die with a coup d’état – or they can die slowly. This happens
most deceptively when in piecemeal fashion, with the election of an
authoritarian leader, the abuse of governmental power and the complete
repression of opposition. All three steps are being taken around the world – not
least with the election of Donald Trump – and we must all understand how we can
stop them.

In How Democracies Die, Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt
draw insightful lessons from across history – from the rule of General Augusto
Pinochet in Chile to the quiet undermining of Turkey’s constitutional system by
President Recip Erdogan – to shine a light on regime breakdown across the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Notably they point to the dangers of an
authoritarian leader faced with a major crisis.

Based on years of research, they present a deep understanding of how and why
democracies die; an alarming analysis of how democracy is being subverted today
in the US and beyond; and a guide for maintaining and repairing a threatened
democracy, for governments, political parties and individuals.

History doesn’t repeat itself. But we can protect our democracy by learning its
lessons, before it’s too late.

LISTEN TO A SAMPLE FROM HOW DEMOCRACIES DIE







PRAISE

“Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies have collapsed elsewhere—not just
through violent coups, but more commonly (and insidiously) through a gradual
slide into authoritarianism. . . . How Democracies Die is a lucid and essential
guide to what can happen here.”—The New York Times

“The most important book of the Trump era was not Bob Woodward’s Fear or Michael
Wolff’s Fire and Fury or any of the other bestselling exposes of the White House
circus. Arguably it was a wonkish tome by two Harvard political scientists,
Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, published a year into Donald Trump’s
presidency and entitled How Democracies Die.”—The Economist

“If you want to understand what’s happening to our country, the book you really
need to read is How Democracies Die.”—Paul Krugman

“Fair warning: reading Levitsky and Ziblatt will leave you very, very unsettled.
They make a powerful case that we really and truly are in uncharted territory,
living in a moment when the line between difficult times and dark times has
blurred.”—Washington Monthly

“Carefully researched and persuasive . . . the authors show the fragility of
even the best democracies and also caution politicians . . . who think they can
somehow co-opt autocrats without getting burned. . . . How Democracies Die
provides a guide for Americans of all political persuasions for what to
avoid.”—USA Today

“Scholarly and readable, alarming and level-headed . . . the greatest of the
many merits of Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt’s contribution to what will
doubtless be the ballooning discipline of democracy death studies is their
rejection of western exceptionalism.”—The Guardian

“[An] important new book.”—Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times

“The political-science text in vogue this winter is How Democracies Die.”—The
New Yorker

“How Democracies Die studies the modern history of apparently healthy
democracies that have slid into autocracy. It is hard to read this fine book
without coming away terribly concerned about the possibility Trump might inflict
a mortal wound on the health of the republic…. It is simplistic to expect boots
marching in the streets, but there will be a battle for democracy.”—Jonathan
Chait,
New York magazine

“The great strength of Levitsky and Ziblatt’s How Democracies Die is that it
rejects the exceptionalist account of US democracy. Their lens is comparative.
The authors say America is not immune to the trends that have led to democracy’s
collapse in other parts of the world.”—Financial Times

“A powerful wake-up call.”—Foreign Affairs

“The big advantage of political scientists over even the shrewdest and luckiest
of eavesdropping journalists is that they have the training to give us a bigger
picture…. [Levitsky and Ziblatt] bring to bear useful global and historical
context . . . [showing] the mistakes democratic politicians make as they let
dangerous demagogues into the heart of power.”—The Sunday Times

“If this were fiction, the thrills of this book would remind you of the thrills
you had when you first read 1984, It Can’t Happen Here, The Plot Against America
and The Handmaid’s Tale. If this were fiction, you could lie in the sand and
enjoy the read. But this book is not fiction. And this book is not just about
the past. And this book is not just about other countries. [It] should be on
your reading list this summer.”—Tufts Now

“Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer one of the best forensic accounts
available of the crimes against democracy in America…. The diagnosis is
compelling, and their book is essential, even compulsive, reading.”—Survival:
Global Politics and Strategy

“[How Democracies Die] is a stellar deep-dive into a series of modern
democracies that ceased to be.”—Daily Kos

“Maybe have a drink before digging into this one. Levitsky and Ziblatt trace the
fall of democracies throughout history with agonizing clarity, going right up to
our current perilous moment.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Levitsky and Ziblatt are not entirely pessimistic . . . but they leave readers
in no doubt that they should be worried about the state of American
democracy.”—Slate

“Chilling . . . A provocative analysis of the parallels between Donald Trump’s
ascent and the fall of other democracies.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have offered a brilliant diagnosis of the
most important issue facing our world: Can democracy survive? With clinical
precision and an extraordinary grasp of history, they point to the warning signs
of decay and define the obligations of those who would preserve free government.
If there is an urgent book for you to read at this moment, it is How Democracies
Die.”—E.J. Dionne Jr., co-author of One Nation After Trump
 
“Levitsky and Ziblatt are leading scholars of democracy in other parts of the
world, who with great energy and integrity now apply their expertise to the
current problems of the United States. The reader feels the intellectual
excitement, and also the political warning, as the authors draw the connections
from their own vast knowledge to the chaos that we experience each day.”—Timothy
Snyder, author of On Tyranny

“We live in perilous times. Anyone who is concerned about the future of American
democracy should read this brisk, accessible book. Anyone who is not concerned
should definitely read it.”—Daron Acemoglu, co-author of Why Nations Fail

“Readers will not find an anti-Trump screed in How Democracies Die. The book is
more erudite than alarmist . . . but that makes [Levitsky and Ziblatt’s] clarity
on the risk of both Trump and wider political developments all the more
powerful.”—California magazine

“All Americans who care about the future of their country should read this
magisterial, compelling book, which sweeps across the globe and through history
to analyze how democracies die. The result is an unforgettable framework for
diagnosing the state of affairs here at home and our prospects for
recovery.”—Danielle Allen, author of Our Declaration and Cuz

“Two years ago, a book like this could not have been written: two leading
political scientists who are expert in the breakdown of democracy in other parts
of the world using that knowledge to inform Americans of the dangers their
democracy faces today. We owe the authors a debt of thanks for bringing their
deep understanding to bear on the central political issue of the day.”—Francis
Fukuyama, author of Political Order and Political Decay

“In this brilliant historical synthesis, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how the
actions of elected leaders around the world have paved the road to democratic
failure, and why the United States is now vulnerable to this same downward
spiral. This book should be widely and urgently read as a clarion call to
restore the shared beliefs and practices—beyond our formal constitution—that
constitute the essential ‘guardrails’ for preserving democracy.”—Larry Diamond,
author of The Spirit of Democracy

“Thorough and well-argued . . . the biggest strength of How Democracies Die is
its bluntness of language in describing American history—a bluntness that often
goes missing when we discuss our own past.”—Pacific Standard

“Required reading for every American . . . [How Democracies Die] shows the daily
slings and arrows that can gradually crush our liberties, without the drama of a
revolution or a military coup.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
