Juan J. Linz
Juan J. Linz was a prominent political sociologist known for his extensive research on democracy and authoritarianism. Born in 1932, Linz's influential work, particularly 'The Breakdown of Democratic Regimes,' analyzed the conditions under which democracies fail and provided critical insights into the nature of political authority. His exploration of legitimacy and the threats posed by coercive forces remains relevant in contemporary discussions about the resilience of democratic institutions.
