鈥淏eyond Responsible Conservatism: How Media Institutions Normalize the Far-Right鈥�

Some scholars argue that democratic stability requires political elites to practice forbearance: roughly speaking, 鈥渞estraint in deploying their institutional prerogatives鈥� (Levitsky and Ziblatt 2018). The paper proposes a novel account of forbearance and the mechanism by which it stabilizes democracies. Public officials exercise forbearance when they refrain from actions of 鈥渄ubious legitimacy,鈥� actions that, while in fact compatible with democracy鈥檚 constitutive rules, are not commonly known to be.
