Fragile Victory

Fragile Victory explores how the liberal democratic order, established since the 1930s, has continually been reshaped in response to global and domestic upheavals. James E. Cronin examines the historical struggles and reinventions of this order amid a series of victories and setbacks, shedding light on contemporary issues like populism, Brexit, and geopolitical conflicts. The book provides essential context for understanding the ongoing challenges to democracy and international stability.
