How Democracies Fall with Anne Applebaum

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and journalist Anne Applebaum, author of Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism, addresses a common misconception about how democracies end, explaining that modern threats often come from within through autocratic parties undermining democratic institutions. The discussion highlights the insidious erosion of democracy in countries like Poland, the United Kingdom with Brexit, the transformation of the Republican Party in the US towards authoritarianism, and similar shifts globally. The speaker reflects on personal experiences and broader political trends that challenge the preservation of democratic norms. 00:00 The Modern Demise of Democracy 00:52 The Inhuman Demand of Democracy 01:37 Losing Democratic Sensibility 01:55 Case Study: Poland's Democratic Erosion 02:19 Global Shifts in Center-Right Politics 03:24 The Republican Party's Transformation 04:18 A Worldwide Phenomenon Full lecture here:    • Anne Applebaum: Twilight of Democracy
