New in Democratic Theory: Dennis Pilon argues capitalism is the blind spot in "democratic multiplicity" work. The state guarantees capitalist relations, so local democratic spaces are entangled with it, not separate, in a shared struggle over democracy. doi.org/10.1017/S233...

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. tinyurl.com/kh87ms8x
