The Crisis of Democracy: Report on the Governability of Democracies is a landmark political science study authored by Michel Crozier, Samuel P. Huntington, and Joji Watanuki for the Trilateral Commission. First published in 1975, the book examines the challenges facing democratic governments in North America, Europe, and Japan during a period of rapid social, political, and economic change.

The authors argue that modern democracies face growing pressures from increased political participation, expanding public expectations, institutional constraints, and declining public trust in political leadership. The study explores how democratic institutions can maintain stability, effectiveness, and legitimacy while responding to the demands of increasingly active and diverse societies.

Widely discussed in academic and policy circles, The Crisis of Democracy remains an influential work in the fields of political science, democratic governance, public policy, international relations, and comparative politics. The book offers valuable insights into the strengths and vulnerabilities of democratic systems and continues to be relevant in debates about governance, political polarization, and institutional reform.

This digital edition is available in the Tooba Book Foundation Digital Library, providing readers with access to important works in political theory, democracy studies, and global governance.
