Analyse van de oorzaken van het falen van het proces van democratisering in Oost-Europa na de val van de Berlijnse Muur in 1989.
Stephen Holmes Boeken
Stephen Holmes duikt in de ingewikkelde geschiedenis van het Europese liberalisme en onderzoekt de teleurstellingen die volgden op democratie en economische liberalisering na het communisme. Hij onderzoekt kritisch de uitdagingen van het bestrijden van internationaal terrorisme binnen constitutionele en wettelijke kaders. Zijn onderzoek peilt naar de theoretische fundamenten van de liberale democratie en onderzoekt de interactie tussen passies en beperkingen in de ontwikkeling ervan. Holmes' schrijven biedt diepe inzichten in de politieke theorie en de complexiteit van het moderne tijdperk.
