Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy - Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics
Ziblatt, Daniel (Harvard University, Massachusetts)
How do democracies form and what makes them die? In a wide-ranging narrative of democracy's history in Europe, from 1830s Britain to Adolf Hitler's 1933 seizure of power in Weimar Germany, the book offers a re-interpretation of how stable political democracy is built, coming to the bold conclusion that democracy's historical adversaries, conservative political parties, shape democracy's viability.
