Drawn from outstanding articles published in the Journal of Democracy, The Global Divergence of Democracies follows the enthusiastically received earlier volume, The Global Resurgence of Democracy.The tremendous momentum of democratic expansion that characterized the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s has drawn to a halt.
