Reviews
"A dense, astute history and warning about the importance-in the face of growing illiberalism and the reawakening of authoritarianism-of continuing to strengthen democratic institutions and structures." -- Kirkus Reviews, "A dense, astute history and warning about the importance-in the face of growing illiberalism and the reawakening of authoritarianism-of continuing to strengthen democratic institutions and structures." -- Kirkus Reviews "Sheri Berman has written a comprehensive and incisive -- I would even say indispensable -- guide to the historical conditions under which democracies rise and persist. Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe is a model for the kind of scholarship we urgently need today: erudite and analytically exact, it stands in continual dialogue with the most pressing political question of our time. And just in case that weren't enough, it will not only leave readers better equipped to understand the current moment, but also more optimistic that we may yet be able to shape a better future." -- Yascha Mounk, author of The People vs. Democracy; Lecturer on Government, Harvard University; and Senior Fellow, New America "Sheri Berman's Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe is a magisterial survey of the ebb and flow of democratic tides over centuries of European politics. In her able hands, democracy's history counters the myopia of the present and offers hope for the future. Because past democratizers were able to overcome seemingly fatal setbacks, there is no compelling reason to assume that today's democratic recession will continue indefinitely." -- William A. Galston, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution "Sheri Berman brings history back into our anguished debate about the future of liberal democracy. A sweeping and authoritative review of political development in Europe and America since the 17th century, her work restores perspective and context to contemporary debates about democracy today." -- Michael Ignatieff, President, Central European University, Budapest "Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe provides a lucid account of the way that European countries moved towards, and then away from democracy. Sheri Berman is one of the best comparativists going, providing an encompassing framework for understanding the historical development of modern institutions." -- Francis Fukuyama, author of Identity and Director of the Stanford Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law "Berman shows that the story of democracy in Europe is complicated. A step forward is often followed by a step back. This may seem a bit obvious to anyone familiar with the broad outlines of European history, but Berman makes the case clearly and convincingly. Moreover, at a moment when hyperventilating over the decline of democracy has grown into a veritable intellectual industry, her long-view approach comes across as appealingly sober." - The New York Times "Readers will come away from Berman's account with useful insights on the vital question of why democracy sometimes succeeds but often does not." - Foreign Affairs, "A dense, astute history and warning about the importance-in the face of growing illiberalism and the reawakening of authoritarianism-of continuing to strengthen democratic institutions and structures." -- Kirkus Reviews "Sheri Berman has written a comprehensive and incisive -- I would even say indispensable -- guide to the historical conditions under which democracies rise and persist.

Synopsis
At the end of the twentieth century, many believed the story of European political development had come to an end. Modern democracy began in Europe, but for hundreds of years it competed with various forms of dictatorship. Now, though, the entire continent was in the democratic camp for the first time in history. But within a decade, this story had already begun to unravel. Some of the continent's newer democracies slid back towards dictatorship, while citizens inmany of its older democracies began questioning democracy's functioning and even its legitimacy. And of course it is not merely in Europe where democracy is under siege. Across the globe the immenseoptimism accompanying the post-Cold War democratic wave has been replaced by pessimism. Many new democracies in Latin America, Africa, and Asia began "backsliding," while the Arab Spring quickly turned into the Arab winter. The victory of Donald Trump led many to wonder if it represented a threat to the future of liberal democracy in the United States. Indeed, it is increasingly common today for leaders, intellectuals, commentators and others to claim that rather than democracy, some formdictatorship or illiberal democracy is the wave of the future.In Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe, Sheri Berman traces the long history of democracy in its cradle, Europe. Sheexplains that in fact, just about every democratic wave in Europe initially failed, either collapsing in upon itself or succumbing to the forces of reaction. Yet even when democratic waves failed, there were always some achievements that lasted. Even the most virulently reactionary regimes could not suppress every element of democratic progress. Panoramic in scope, Berman takes readers through two centuries of turmoil: revolution, fascism, civil war, and - -finally -- the emergence of liberaldemocratic Europe in the postwar era. A magisterial retelling of modern European political history, Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe not explains how democracy actually develops, but how we shouldinterpret the current wave of illiberalism sweeping Europe and the rest of the world., At the end of the twentieth century, many believed the story of European political development had come to an end.

A magisterial retelling of modern European political history, Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe not explains how democracy actually develops, but how we should interpret the current wave of illiberalism sweeping Europe and the rest of the world., Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe examines the development of various political regimes in Europe from the ancien régime up through the present day. It analyzes why democracy flourishes at some times and in some places but not others and draws lessons from European history that can help us better understand the political situation the world finds itself in today., At the end of the twentieth century, many believed the story of European political development had come to an end.
