The Paradox of Democracy (2019)
Over the 2010s decade, even in different contexts and different democracies, the lack of satisfaction of society with politics became an unifying trait that caused riots in Brazil, the United States, France, Egypt and Ukraine.

"The Paradox of Democracy" analyzes this problem with the help of intellectuals who have been studying 21st-century political science.
