| book description |
In an era marked by political polarization, institutional strain, and global uncertainty, Is Democracy Doomed? confronts one of the most urgent questions of our time. This provocative volume gathers leading scholars from law, political science, and sociology to dissect the fragility and resilience of democratic systems in the 21st century. From Beau Breslin and Ashley Wilkerson’s defense of republicanism as a safeguard against democratic collapse, to Paul Schiff Berman’s exploration of dialogue as democracy’s lifeblood, each chapter offers a distinct lens on the forces reshaping governance. Peter Levine applies systems theory to diagnose democracy’s ailments, while Laura Beth Nielsen reimagines democracy as a relational practice rooted in trust and reciprocity. The volume also probes the legal architecture of democracy: H. Chris Tecklenburg examines the constitutional implications of nationwide injunctions, Jamie Rowen highlights the civic role of lawyers and veterans, and Laura A. Dickinson warns of the democratic risks posed by privatized national security. David Mednicoff critiques the international rule of law’s paradoxes, and Jeremy Paul closes with a sobering reflection on the cultural drift toward expedience over principle. Is Democracy Doomed? invites readers into a rigorous conversation about democracy’s future, and whether its foundations can withstand the pressures of our time.
