Sterling Professor of Political Science Ian Shapiro was interviewed by the Yale Jackson Institute of Global Affairs in an article entitled “Democracy in Peril.”
Abstract:
“In his research, Professor Ian Shapiro is investigating how American democracy became so dysfunctional. He sees weak political parties as a major source of the problem, but also the key to reform. A Pew research poll conducted in August 2022 found that 72% of Republicans and 64% of Democrats believe people in the opposing party are more dishonest than other Americans. Additionally, the poll found that 27% of Americans hold unfavorable views of both political parties.”
