But democratic constitutions are not fail-proof safeguards. By looking at how such leaders exploit legal mechanisms to advance their aims, we can see how democratic constitutions can sometimes abet—and even accelerate—democratic decline. In this new edition of \u003cem\u003eHow to Save a Constitutional Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e, constitutional law experts Tom Ginsburg and Aziz Z. Huq offer a powerful analysis of today's challenges while arguing that the time has come for meaningful, actionable change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis new edition takes up the torch of its predecessor, canvasing developments in the United States and other countries that have transpired since 2018. Drawing lessons from countries around the world and reflecting on the prospects for American democracy, the authors show how constitutional design can, in fact, either undermine or support democratic institutions. The sobering reality for the United States is that the Constitution's design makes democratic erosion eminently feasible. But Ginsburg and Huq do not stop there. They suggest practical ways that law and constitutional design can better manage these mounting threats, analyzing constitutional and legal questions that are consequential yet poorly understood, all while cautioning against an overreliance on technocratic fixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEven more urgent and salient in its new edition, \u003cem\u003eHow to Save a Constitutional Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e reflects on why autocrats tend to pose even greater danger the second time they come to power and asks how we can begin to repair a democracy that has failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67807595430124,"sku":"9780226855844","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0d3cbc3bcafea2b07100642be84ad7b8.jpg?v=1792622917"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/aziz-z-huq.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
