Topic: What is meant by the term 'democratic recession' and is the world currently witnessing an era of democratic decline? Order Description Response to the question must have an argument Things to consider – • Define “democratic recession” note: there is no official definition and so it will be necessary for you to define this term according to your argument or to use one developed by a scholar (but be prudent and sensible) • You do not need to defend democracy, nor do you need to explain in intricate detail what it is. But you do need to be clear about your reasons for thinking it is or it is not in recession • You may need to limit the scope of your argument to either established democracies or newly emerging democracies but not both necessarily. However, it will be important to make this clear in the introduction. +) At least 8 references. NO PLAGIARISM!
