The Democratization Disconnect: How Recent Democratic Revolutions Threaten the Future of Democracy

Brian Grodsky

4.9/5 (27100 ratings)

Description:The most recent wave of democratic revolutions has convinced many in the West of the triumph of political rights. But in this provocative book, Brian Grodsky argues forcefully that nothing could be farther from the truth. Today's democratic revolutions are, much like so many non-democratic revolutions before them, about human dignity, with a stress on economic and social rights. They have taken the form of "democratic revolutions" simply because the international system bestows legitimacy only to rising democrats. Yet when the dust settles, many newly democratic regimes do a poor job of addressing popular ideas of human dignity. As they fail or turn away from democracy, the author clearly shows that they threaten to undermine the still-evolving notion of democratic legitimacy. --Stephen E.
