Why does democracy often fall apart?, with Thomas Carothers
An interview with Thomas Carothers, an expert on foreign policy, democracy, and political polarization. He is co-author/editor of the book Democracies Divided, a summary of the national situations of several extremely polarized countries, including the U.S., Turkey, India, Poland, Kenya, and Brazil. I ask Carothers about what he views as the root psychological and social causes of extreme polarization, the erosion of democracy, and the rise of authoritarian leaders. Topics discussed include: Topics discussed: What is the state of democracy around the world and how has that changed in the past few years? What are the root psychological causes behind some countries becoming very divided and desiring authoritarian leaders/responses? Are there inherent processes that tend to lead economically successful countries to go down the path of polarization and democracy erosion?
