Recommendation
Democracy is in decline, as this sobering analysis from the think tank IDEA confirms. Across governments and regimes of all stripes, civil liberties and freedom of expression have come under attack. The United States has not been immune, either, as events on January 6, 2021, attest. And the COVID-19 pandemic has, in some places, served to justify strong-arm tactics. Still, the situation may not be as dire as it seems, the study’s authors explain. Anyone concerned about the state of democracy around the world will appreciate this important report.
