Adam Przeworski gained fame for his research on the process of the democratization wave, which swept through the world in the late 1970s. Even more surprising, the master of democracy research had never experienced democracy while growing up.
He was born in Poland during Nazi rule, escaped Communist Poland in the early 1960s, and lived under military dictatorship in Santiago, Chile, around 1970, after which he began to study democracy. Przeworski conceptualizes and explores the conundrums of democracy, such as what kind of influence the business world has on politics and why democracy leads to continued pain and inequality.
In 2010, he received the Johan Skytte Prize, also known as the Nobel Prize of political science, and in 2018, he was awarded the Juan Linz Prize by the International Political Science Association. He is the author of Paper Stones, Democracy and the Market, and many more works of international acclaim.
