Thanks for the post! I think more people should address this democratic recession with case studies (about Turkey, Hong Kong, Thailand… and maybe democratic regimes which are becoming increasingly mor eunstable, such as Brazil and Philippines), focusing on the peculiarites of each country and on international relations. That’s something I often miss when reading more “high-level” material—such as Acemoglu’s models about institutions. I wonder if there are effective interventions here.
