Content:
Transatlantic Democracy in the Twentieth Centuryrefers to much more than a US mission in Europe after the two world wars or the re-education of the German populace at the end of the country’s 'Sonderweg.' Following the Cold War and the apparent absolute victory of the Western model, the debate over democracy has been reinvigorated by the challenges of post-democracy and populism, thus reshaping our understanding of transatlantic history. Paul Nolte, Freie Universität Berlin.
