How does it work?

How Democracies Die helps readers understand the subtle ways democratic systems unravel — not through sudden coups, but through the gradual erosion of norms and institutions.

Drawing on decades of research, Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt show how warning signs appear, how elected leaders can weaken checks and balances from within, and how history provides lessons from other nations that slipped into authoritarianism.

By blending political science with gripping historical examples, the book equips readers with clarity, perspective, and practical insight — making it easier to recognize threats to democracy and see what can still be done to protect it.
