Nad názvem: A Council on foreign relations book Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy a rejstřík Annotation "A thought-provoking study of democratization proposing that the spate of retreating democracies, one after another over the past two decades, is not just a series of exceptions. Kurlantzick pays particular attention to the revolt of middle class citizens, traditionally proponents of reform, who have turned against democracy in countries such as Venezuela, Pakistan, and Taiwan. He observes that countries once held up as model new democracies, such as Hungary and the Czech Republic, have since curtailed social, economic, and political freedoms. Military coups have grabbed power from Honduras to Thailand to Fiji. The number of representative governments has fallen, and the quality of democracy has deteriorated in many states where it had been making progress, including Russia, Kenya, Argentina, and Nigeria. The renewed strength of authoritarian rule, warns Kurlantzick, means that billions of people around the world continue to live under repressive regimes."--www.cfr.org Výrazy tezauru demokracie * demokratizace * liberalismus * střední třída Klasifikační znaky 0406 - Politický rámec 2821 - Sociální rámec ISBN 978-0-300-20580-0 Copy count 1, currently available 1 URL Democracy in retreat (recenze) Document kind Monografie
