Bass Professor of Government at Harvard University, for his book, Democracy’s Discontent: A New Edition for Our Perilous Times (Harvard University Press 2022). The annual prize honors a work of scholarship that explores threats to, or supports of, the liberal democratic constitutional order and to encourage and reward public debate among scholars on current issues affecting the rights of individuals and the responsibilities of governments throughout the world.
