Wow, what great timing, I wrote about this today: https://acoup.blog/2020/10/30/fireside-friday-october-30-2020/ … This only holds true if you use the artificially small modern democracy sample; get into ancient democracies, this 'emprical matter' turns on its head and we see that democratic deconsolidation was common.https://twitter.com/shadihamid/status/1322203799008743430 …

I was wondering how you’d foreseen that this particular take would be making the rounds today

No idea! But the idea that consolidated democracies can't deconsolidate is an article of faith in some corners of the Political-Science world so I though tit might. Poli-Sci, generally, I think, is often poorly served by an excessively modern and European focus.

As someone who dabbled briefly in PoliSci before falling to the dark side of theoretical math, I like to think my professors tried to avoid this by including some African/South American sources. But I have heard this particular claim bouncing around a lot

And it's nice to now have a go-to counterpoint/rebuttal, I will say! So, I'm grateful for this posting. ... Now that I think of it, one of the profs who assigned a lot of those South American/African case studies _also_ was a bit more worried about democratic backsliding

Well and don't get me wrong - political science is a big field and a lot of good goes there. On the blog, I've dipped into IR Realism, interstate anarchy and other concepts from the Poli-Sci realm. As with any field, there's a big variance between the best and the weakest work.
