Opis

This book examines how opposition strategies can help or hinder potential autocrats' ability to erode democracy.

Recenzje

'Although democratic erosion has generated much scholarly attention in recent years, we still know little about how to stop it. Resisting Backsliding helps fill that gap. In this well-researched and carefully argued book, Laura Gamboa highlights the critical role of opposition strategy in determining whether elected autocrats succeed or fail. This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about democratic backsliding in the contemporary world.' Steven Levitsky, Harvard University
