"There is still a broad aspiration for democracy [globally]...Democracy is a universal value, in the sense that people from vastly different cultural traditions see it as important to their lives."

2024 Google Scholar Metrics are out. Based on citations of articles published in the last five years, the APSR is the top political science journal!

Kudos to the authors of these articles and to the APSR editorial teams that published them.

The “crisis” of democracy is a crisis of representation. New parties, some of which are populist and illiberal, are arising from this moment. The danger that they pose is not that they are antidemocratic, but that they are antiliberal. @AdamPrzeworski

Samuel Huntington’s classic theory offered a new way of understanding democracy’s global trajectory. But amid rising populism and aggressive authoritarian states, has Huntington’s thesis outlived its usefulness? https://t.co/zmwypWBx7P

New from @tobirommel (Munich) argues that FDI decreases autocratic regime support among those facing high labor-mkt risks, ie low education workers. FDI bolsters regime support among highly educated. x-national survey data corroborates.

The costs and benefits of settler colonies combine in one of McNamee's most striking claims that colonialism is a waning phenomenon. Reversing Lenin, McNamee argues that decolonization—not imperialism—is the highest form of capitalism. https://t.co/6khBOybuVX

⚡ Democracy is in decline, and autocracies are staging a comeback. What does this mean for the future of the international order?
