How Global Illiberalism Damages Democracy
As global illiberalism rises, democratic actors facing autocratization confront dwindling international support, tougher strategic dilemmas, and steeper costs for defending liberal democracy. Tools once central to democratization—such as Western linkages and international organizations—have weakened or now help to entrench illiberalism. These shifts abroad confound resistance at home: they 1) narrow and politicize international support, 2) create…
Why Populists Hollow Out Their States
Current debates about democratic decline largely focus on the erosion of electoral, liberal, and other regime-level institutions. Yet executives today also pursue strategies that deliberately weaken the state itself. This essay brings the state back into the conversation by (re)introducing the concept of state erosion to capture processes through which elected leaders weaken the state's essential governance capacities by dismantling or politicizi…
Multilevel Regime Decoupling
Regimes do not change consistently across territorial levels. There has been progress in understanding national democratic erosions and subnational regimes, but barring a few exceptions, these research strands have not engaged in a thorough dialogue. To bridge this gap, I contend that when democracy advances in one territorial level, but erodes in another, we observe multilevel regime decoupling (MRD). Using global data from the Varieties of Demo…
The Persistence of Latin America’s Violent Democracies
This review examines Votes, Drugs, and Violence, Authoritarian Police in Democracy, Resisting Extortion, as well as Democracy and Security in Latin America to outline the latest scholarly developments on how the region has dealt with the challenges posed by violent, militarized state and non-state actors. Leveraging distinct cases and methods, these four recently published books discuss the political rationale behind the military and institutiona…
Measuring and assessing subnational electoral democracy
Assessing how democracy varies within countries is paramount to the subnational turn in comparative politics. Despite recent contributions, we still lack a comparable measure of democracy for provinces inside countries. To overcome this limitation, I present the Index of Subnational Electoral Democracy (ISED), a measure that tracks the electoral dimension of democracy across the provinces of nine Latin American countries, the United States, Canad…
