The chapter discusses the future of democracy amid growing uncertainty. As doubts about what lies ahead increase, researchers, politicians, writers, journalists, and citizens alike are debating whether democracy will last. The chapter discusses three stylized positions in the literature that capture the main lines of the debate. Those who say No, and predict the death of democracy. Those who say Yes, and point out that democracy has always gotten out of crises unscathed and strong. And those who say Maybe, adding that it depends on the actions we take here and now.
