Kritik
"Democracy Under Threat: A Crisis of Legitimacy ... is an informative and significant contribution to the current debate on the state of democracy ... . This volume brings a great deal of comparative expert and survey data to bear, but also wisely mixes chapters examining cross-national patterns with valuable case studies focusing on within-country trends." (Robert Mattes, South African Journal of International Affairs, Vol. 26 (3), July 08, 2019)
"'Is Democracy Dying?' is arguably the most crucial question facing political scientists today, and Democracy under Threat does an impressive job of clarifying what is going on. ... Democracy under Threat draws on a wealth of empirical evidence and the insights of a talented team of researchers to demonstrate that the thesis of a global democratic recession is over-simplified." (Ronald Inglehart, European Political Science, Vol. 18 (1), March, 2019)mehr
