Democracy Unmoored

In Democracy Unmoored, Samuel Issacharoff provides a broad analysis of populism's impact on global democracies, examining countries like Brazil, Poland, and India. He explores how populist leaders threaten foundational democratic institutions by shortening political time horizons and weakening constraints on power, undermining the stability crucial for democratic resilience. The book also considers the broader context of democratic decline after 2008, illustrating how populists have capitalized on vulnerabilities within weakened democratic systems worldwide.
