Democracy and Warning Signs.
Ten years ago, democracy seemed ascendant, with many countries transitioning to democracy. The article
“How Stable are Democracies?” suggests a very different transition, a process called democratic erosion, or, in
the article, “democratic deconsolidation.” (MLA format)

For Journal 2, I am expecting a discussion of the article based on the following points:
What is the basic argument of the reading? What is democratic consolidation?
What is democratic “deconsolidation”?
What evidence was cited for consolidation?
What is the “three-factor formula” offered by the interviewee?
Choose one of the countries mentioned in the article and summarize how it “deconsolidated.”
What is the conclusion of the article?
Does the insurrection of January 6 in the U.S. Capitol have relevance for the article and its conclusion?
