  abstract: 'When Democracy Breaks' deepens our understanding of what separates democratic resilience from democratic fragility by focusing on the latter. The volume's collaborators - experts in the history and politics of the societies covered in their chapters - explore eleven episodes of democratic breakdown, from ancient Athens to Weimar Germany to present-day Russia, Turkey, and Venezuela. Strikingly, in every case, various forms of democratic erosion long preceded the final democratic breakdown. While each case of democratic decay is unique, the patterns that emerge shed much light on the continuing struggle to sustain modern democracies and to assess and respond to the threats they face.
