Steve Levitsky

Steve Levitsky, political scientist and co-author of “How Democracies Die” and “Tyranny of the Majority.” Levitsky’s work focuses on democracy, authoritarianism, political parties, campaigns and elections, with a focus on Latin America. His book “How Democracies Die,” co-written with Daniel Ziblatt, documented democracy’s vulnerability when both critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and long-standing political norms are gradually eroded over time. His latest work looks at the structural conditions that contribute to democratic resiliency around the world.
