El ocaso de la democracia: La seducción del autoritarismo / Twilight of Democrac y: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism (Spanish Edition)

El ocaso de la democracia is a thought-provoking and urgently needed analysis of the current political landscape.

Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Anne Applebaum, this book provides a detailed examination of the dangers of nationalism and authoritarianism in modern democracies.

With a focus on the tactics used by leaders to consolidate power and undermine democratic institutions, Applebaum offers a passionate defense of liberal values and the importance of protecting them. Through a series of insightful case studies and historical examples, Applebaum reveals how authoritarian elites have taken hold in Western democracies, often with the support of media outlets and political allies.

She also explores the ways in which these elites use conspiracy theories, polarization, and social media to manipulate public opinion and undermine democratic norms. With its magisterial writing and urgent message, El ocaso de la democracia is an essential read for anyone concerned about the future of democracy in the face of rising authoritarianism.
