‘This valuable book sheds light on a critical question: which pathways autocracies use while undermining democratization efforts. Understanding such mechanisms is key to developing effective counter-strategies.’ * Anna Lührmann, Former Minister of State for Europe at the German Foreign Office (2021-2025) * ‘At a time when many in the EU worry about illiberal interferences in Eastern Europe and beyond, this book comes at the right moment. Focusing on Georgia and Bosnia, the book investigates the causal mechanisms by which Russia and Turkey – together with domestic actors – try to undermine democracy. A must-read for everybody worried about the future of liberal democracy!’ * Thomas Risse, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany *
