The Light That Failed: Why the West Is Losing the Fight for Democracy by Ivan Krastev and Stephen Holmes

The Light That Failed: Why the West Is Losing the Fight for Democracy by Ivan Krastev and Stephen Holmes

After 1989 there was supposedly one model left and everyone else had to imitate it. The authors argue that the humiliation of permanent imitation is what produced the backlash.

They examine central Europe's turn to nationalism, Russia's move from imitation to mockery, and America's own rejection of the order it built — treating resentment as a political force rather than a failure of education.

Winner of the Lionel Gelber Prize. One of the sharpest explanations of the last decade's politics.
