''Illiberal democracy – or populism – is not the
only political menace confronting Western countries. Liberal democracy
is also being undermined by a tendency to emphasize “liberal” at the
expense of “democracy.”
CAMBRIDGE
– The crisis of liberal democracy is roundly decried today. Donald
Trump’s presidency, the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom, and the
electoral rise of other populists in Europe have underscored the threat
posed by “illiberal democracy” – a kind of authoritarian politics
featuring popular elections but little respect for the rule of law or
the rights of minorities..''
