The Democratic Coup d’État

by Ozan Varol

Ozan Varol, associate professor of law, advances a simple yet controversial argument: Sometimes a democracy is established through a military coup. Written for a general audience, this book will entertain, challenge, and provoke, but more importantly, it will serve as a reminder of the imperative to question the standard narratives about our world and engage with all ideas, no matter how controversial.
