2024 promises to be a year of decision for democracies worldwide, with important elections scheduled in Taiwan, Venezuela, Mexico, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Several of these elections are taking place in countries with relatively fragile democracies, and where the voters themselves are uncertain about the political health and stability of their […]

Why a new volume on civil disobedience? Libraries are already filled with fat tomes on the topic.
