Defending Democracy

Más información sobre el libro

Examining the resilience of established democracies, Giovanni Capoccia focuses on European nations between the World Wars that successfully navigated internal threats from legitimate political parties. Through case studies of Czechoslovakia, Belgium, and Finland, he highlights successful strategies while contrasting them with the democratic failures in Germany and Italy. Capoccia emphasizes the importance of ongoing research into defending democracy, particularly in light of rising terrorism and extremism affecting both stable and emerging democracies.
