Books by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt

Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt are professors of government at Harvard University and the authors of How Democracies Die (2018). Levitsky studies Latin American politics, party systems, and authoritarian regimes; Ziblatt specializes in European political development, the history of democracy, and party organization. Tyranny of the Minority builds on their earlier collaboration and applies comparative political science to the structural features of the American system rather than the behavioral patterns of individual politicians. Both remain among the most widely cited academic voices on the mechanics of democratic backsliding.
