In Inequality and Governance in an Uncertain World: Perspectives on Democratic & Autocratic Governments, the authors address structural and systemic inequalities in democratic and autocratic governments from a multidimensional perspective in nine world regions (Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, East Asia, Eurasia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North America, and Latin America). Their focus is on issues of race, caste, class, gender, religion, culture, and ethnicity which has intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. The fragility of democracies is only enhanced by the sobering reality of the climate crisis and the deleterious nature of disinformation through social media. However, just as the world has been witnessing a shift toward autocracy, a commitment to democracy can be also possible through a renewal of the social contract, calling for more equitable social, economic, and health policies, obliterating the intersections of inequality, and trudging toward a more sustainable future for all.

“Covering a variety of regions, historical periods, and pressing issues, Saliba Sarsar and Rekha Datta’s collection impressively grapples with some of the most urgent issues of the day: the multiple threats and challenges to governance across a range of systems – from democratic to autocratic - by deep seated divisions and inequalities, exacerbated by COVID. This scholarly collection impressively explores the impact of the COVID pandemic in exacerbating inequalities, weakening democracies, and strengthening autocracies in nine regions of the world. The authors provide insightful nuances to these general trends, not only making strong contributions to scholarship, but addressing issues that are of great interest to the general public.”
Yael S. Aronoff, Director of the Michigan State University Serling Institute for Jewish Studies and Modern Israel and Serling Chair in Israel Studies
