New in FirstView: Celestino flips the script on Mexico's democratic decline. Morena's illiberal turn isn't the *cause* of the crisis. It's the *consequence* of a democratization that was always more procedural than substantive.

To renew democracy, study it holistically. Draw on five sources: individual people, groups, non-textual media, texts, and non-humans. Do this across cultures, languages, and species to uncover unfamiliar practices beyond Western views.

A core implication of the book is that it seeks to revive basic descriptive research to lay the groundwork for stronger and more inclusive theories of democracy.
