Abstract

Abstract:How much should we worry about democracy in the world today? Building on Brownlee and Miao's useful interjection that rich democracies (still) don't die, this essay offers some alternative ways to approach the threat faced by wealthy democracies, in addition to the critical role of the macroeconomic structural factors that they highlight. The essay advocates for more attention to the possibility that democracy can weaken in consequential ways short of death, how leaders damage institutions without destroying them, and the crucial role that citizens can play in replenishing democratic resilience.

摘要:我们应该对当今世界的民主有多少担忧?在Brownlee和Miao那句有用的感叹词“富裕的民主国家(仍然)不会消亡”的基础上，本文除了强调宏观经济结构因素的关键作用外，还提供了一些应对富裕民主国家所面临威胁的替代方法。这篇文章主张更多地关注民主可能以不致死的方式削弱的可能性，领导人如何损害制度而不摧毁它们，以及公民在补充民主弹性方面可以发挥的关键作用。
