Description

How fragile are current democracies? Joseph Livni interrogates the concept of democratic resilience through the lens of the equilibrium and stability of complex systems. Drawing on political science, law, sociology, and psychology, this book offers diagnoses and potential solutions for preserving democracy. Scholars of democracy, particularly those focused on democratic resilience, will find value in this book not because it answers familiar questions but because it offers unanticipated insights. It demonstrates that neither the advocacy of individual actors nor the expansion of governmental authority guarantees democratic resilience, highlighting the unintended consequences of government actions and the hidden interconnections within societal systems that can disrupt stability. Ultimately, Livni argues that democracies, especially in the United States, remain resilient. This work provides scholars of law, sociology, and political science with a new framework for distinguishing between stabilizing and destabilizing actions, institutions, and structural reforms, opening a window to a deeper understanding of democratic resilience.
