2024: The Year of Elections (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

2024 was the biggest year in elections history.

It wasn't all about the United States, either; nearly 80 national governments were up for election in this monster year for voting. Half the world's population was affected, and around 1.7 billion people voted. That's a feat unlikely to be repeated any time soon.

Around the world there were grudge matches, viral spring onions, staggering comebacks, outbreaks of political violence and assassination, game-changing court interventions, and dramatic plot twists.

But what does it all mean? How has the world changed as a result of those ballot results? And who's got the time to watch all those contests around the world, anyway?

This book sifts through the noise, keeps track of even the smaller countries far away: it gives you everything you need to know about each election, and why they matter.

This is for anyone who wanted to follow all of 2024's hot democratic action, but didn't get the chance. From Bangladesh to Croatia, from Algeria to Venezuela, presidents and national assemblies, it's all covered here.

Did global democracy emerge from this vote-fest stronger or weaker? Who came out on top: democracy, or autocracy?

Find out, in the end-of-year report for Democracy 2024: the year of elections.
