In today's world, democracies are coming under increasing pressures, including in the USA and Europe, largely due to changing leadership metrics and even a range of idiosyncrasies, impacting leadership styles. Rather than single-party regimes, the world's democracies are the ones that invariably get threatened, even manipulated, with comparative ease. In The Challenges of Democracy, Mohan Menon examines the interlinked dynamics of Indian and global security, certain imperative safety parameters and connected priorities of modern governance. With his current preoccupation as a strategist on global security dynamics and governance, Menon has delved deep into his experiences to present this well-researched account. This book with its thought-provoking takes is for those interested in contemporary politics and the possibilities for changes, both in the current and future Indian and global scenario.
