Considered one of the world\\u2019s leading experts on democracy, Larry Diamond, senior fellow at Stanford University\\u2019s Hoover Institution, believes democracy worldwide is in a recession. The crisis is \\u201cbad, deepening, accelerating,\\u201d but he suggests several steps we can take to reverse the trend, such as ranked choice voting to tackle the two-party system, and spreading \\u201cmotor voter\\u201d laws to increase the number of registered voters. For Diamond, democracy is the only political system that can preserve freedom, which is itself intrinsic to being human.
