Show Notes
Political scientist Steven Levitsky challenges the notion of a global democratic backslide, arguing that despite challenges, outright collapses into autocracy remain rare. He highlights the unique conditions that facilitated democracys spread in the nineties and early two thousands, and explains how todays tailwinds have faded.
