Democracy's Challenges is the culmination of the NYU Law Democracy Project's "100 Ideas in 100 Days series." This anthology brings together an unparalleled range of scholars, political strategists, policymakers, and global thinkers on the urgent question of what's next for democracy?Crossing ideological, political, and geographical boundaries, Democracy's Challenges includes over 100 brief, deeply informed, and often visionary essays written by over 100 contributors, ranging from prominent scholars to influential political and public figures like Anita Dunn, Robert George, Samuel Moyn, Larry Diamond, Randall Kennedy, Jake Sullivan, and Mark Cuban.Together, the same essays address the central topics of American governance and politics, but provide an international perspective with contributions from scholars and other experts on issues confronting democracies around the globe. The authors of these essays offer original perspectives on a host of issues that are often mired In conventional wisdom or polarized political conflict, including the rise of executive power, the failures of legislatures, and the controversies over the role of courts; the effects of wealth inequality and revolutionary technologies; the role of experts; the function and health of political parties and civil society; civic education and participation; and the sources of popular distrust of democratic institutions. Democracy's Challenges will provoke thought and inspire a fresh debate about the potential or the limits of reform.

Essential reading for anyone interested in modern American politics, get the book that former President Barack Obama on X calls "a deeply thoughtful book" and says, "couldn’t be a more timely read."Part memoir, part rumination on the declining moral compass of the American political class, The Unraveling is the first book to place restoring political ethics at the center of the renewal of American democracy. Politics is a brutal game, but Bauer asks where does the line fall between the “hardball” of politics and attacks on the very foundation of democracy? Looking back on 46 years in the political arena, Bauer tries to better grasp what has gone wrong and to understand what shaped his own decisions and actions. He offers anecdotes, perspectives, and insights that are vitally relevant in our world today, including efforts in 2020 (and 2024) to defend our democratic system of elections from attack and distrust, and the struggles with social media, such as Meta, to combat disinformation in a post-truth politics. He writes about the various personal experiences along the way—the highs, the lows, and the absurd. Bauer presents a smart and serious look at our political culture and the role that he has played in shaping it. The Unraveling will be essential reading for anyone interested in American politics of the last 50 years--and the next.
