Adam Przeworski: The Polarization Phenomenon Is Undeniable, But It Doesn’t Threaten Democracy

Tigran Grigoryan’s guest is Adam Przeworski, Distinguished Professor of Political Science at New York University and one of the world’s foremost scholars of democracy. In this conversation, they discuss the conditions that help new democracies survive, the challenges Armenia faces in consolidating its democratic system, the dilemma of justice versus stability, the effects of polarization, and whether democracy is truly in global decline. Professor Przeworski also shares his views on external interference in elections and the differences between presidential and parliamentary systems when it comes to democratic resilience.
