In \u003ci\u003eDefending Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e, political scientist Giovanni Capoccia studies key European nations between World Wars I and II which survived such democratic crises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA comprehensive and thoughtful historical analysis of the democracies of interwar Europe, \u003ci\u003eDefending Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e provides a unique perspective on the many lessons to be learned from their successes and failures. With this exclusively empirical investigative approach, Capoccia develops a methodology for analyzing contemporary democracies--such as Algeria, Turkey, Israel, and others--where similar political conditions are present. Given the rise of terrorism and the persistence of extremism in both established and new democracies today, continued research and dialogue on the defense of democracy are necessary for its preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giovanni Capoccia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801880386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801880384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.44w x 0.97d","brand":"Giovanni Capoccia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086871572735,"sku":"9780801880384","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4dc2be0a-30d8-4596-9f53-46bdeb974dc0.jpg?v=1769097066","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/defending-democracy-giovanni-capoccia-9780801880384","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
