nFew countries serve as a more useful case study for understanding the global tension between liberal and illiberal conceptions of democracy than Poland. Under the populist Law and Justice (PiS) -led government, a large part of the Polish electorate welcomed the partys Good Change-as it described its program-despite accusations of democratic backsliding. PiS offered voters neglected by previous governments a combination of economic redistributionism and cultural traditionalism, supplemented with narratives of bolstering Polands national prestige and sovereignty. Yet after eight years of success, it was defeated in the October 2023 elections by a pro-democratic coalition. The history of PiS shows both the strengths and weaknesses of democratic illiberalism as a challenge to liberal democracy.n nBill and Stanley analyze the course and causes of the partys successes and failures. The authors deftly outline PiSs assault on democratic institutions, its paradigm-changing redistributive programs, cultural backlash agenda, politics of history, and the reasons for its fall from power. Polands democracy has proven resilient to the specter of autocratization, but its future development under a new government raises fresh questions. This essential book considers what the rise and fall of Polands illiberal government reveals about the future of liberal democracy and its ongoing transformations in the twenty-first century.n
