Beschreibung

The End of Democracy?The fall of the Berlin Wall. The collapse of the Iron Curtain. The Orange Revolution. The Arab Spring.The rush of events in recent decades seems to confirm that Alexis de Tocqueville was right: the future belongs to democracy. But take a closer look. The history of democracy since the 1830s, when Tocqueville wroteDemocracy in America, reveals a far more complicated picture. And the future, author Chilton Williamson Jr. demonstrates, appears rather unpromising for democratic institutions around the world.The fall of communism sparked the popular notion that the spread of democracy was inevitable.After Tocquevillechallenges this sunny notion. Various aspects of twenty-first-century life that Tocqueville could scarcely have imaginedpolitical, economic, social, religious, intellectual, technological, environmentalmilitate against democracy, both in developing societies and in the supposedly democratic West.This piercing, elegantly written book raises crucial questions about the future of democracy.
