 How to Save the World
Zakaria backs up his claims with examples from all over the world, where premature political democratization, in the absence of constitutional and economic liberalism, has been astonishingly unsuccessful and short-lived, and where dictatorships like Singapore with liberal constitutional and economic institutions thrive.
Zakaria holds the US and the IMF responsible for the failure of democracy in Indonesia, where demands for hasty, premature economic and political reforms precipitated financial disaster and led to the downfall of a flawed but functioning constitutional liberal state, raising the risk of that country becoming another Islamist theocracy.
Zakaria claims this tyranny of minorities extends beyond economic interests, and, for example, explains why anti-Castro forces in swing states New Jersey and Florida have sustained sanctions against Cuba that the vast majority of Americans would prefer to see ended.

 The Ungreat Washed - A Refutation of Fareed Zakaria's "The Future of Freedom"
Zakaria's answer to this rampant excess of democracy in America is to "resurrect, in some form, the institutions and elites" that dominated America in the past, and to return to them the authority that they have lost.
Zakaria himself defines the requirements of democracy as "competitive, multiparty elections"; the elections themselves "must be open and fair," which in turn "requires some protections for the freedom of speech and assembly." This is a fairly narrow definition.
Zakaria's contention, of course, is that Korea was in fact not "ready" for democracy in 1980, even though its per capita GDP was around $4,500, but that it was "ready" by the end of that decade, when the per capita GDP was around $8,000.

 Amazon.ca: Future Of Freedom: Books: Fareed Zakaria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Zakaria provides a much-needed intellectual framework for many current foreign policy dilemmas, arguing that the United States should support a liberalizing dictator like Pakistan's Pervez Musharraf, be wary of an elected "thug" like Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and take care to remake Afghanistan and Iraq into societies that are not merely democratic but free.
Zakaria's thesis is that we live in a democratic age, but we'd be better off with less democracy, not more.
Zakaria, following Richard Holbrooke, is concerned about the proliferation of illiberal democracies -- that is, governments in which the majority rule, thus satisfying democracy's procedural requirement, but which produce substantive outcomes at odds with Constitutional democracy -- protection of minority rights, property, due process and the like.
