The Future of Freedom
Is it really so that more democracy leads automatically to more freedom ? Why, in the four corners of the world, are we now seeing an increased capacity for religion to mobilise the people ?

Why has there been an increase in the number of regimes which are born from the polling booth, yet which exalt fanaticism, repression and war ?

Fareed Zakaria is the editor of Newsweek International and was formerly the managing director of the review Foreign Affairs.
