Legitimacy in Liberal Democracies Affordable Paperback Release

My second book, Legitimacy in Liberal Democracies, has been released today in paperback. It’s available for under $25 (under £20). You can get it from the publisher:

https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-legitimacy-in-liberal-democracies.html

Or you can get it from Amazon: https://a.co/d/0dtSVtsC

This is, in my view, the best thing I have made, at the most affordable price we are likely to see for the foreseeable future. If it does well, I am hopeful that I will be able to publish more affordable books.

How Democracies Cry

I have a new piece out for Sublation on the state of democracy in the United States. There’s no paywall. You can read it here: https://www.sublationmag.com/post/how-democracies-cry-the-endless-wailing-of-levitsky-and-ziblatt

The US and UK as Embedded Democracies

I have a new post out for Edinburgh University Press’ blog on my new book, Legitimacy in Liberal Democracies. There’s no paywall. You can read it here: https://euppublishingblog.com/2025/01/22/us-uk-embedded-democracies/

It offers a short introduction to the concept of an “embedded democracy,” which plays a central role in the new book. That book is available here: https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-legitimacy-in-liberal-democracies.html
