Stephen Holmes sa zaoberá zložitou históriou európskeho liberalizmu a skúma sklamania spojené s demokraciou a liberalizáciou po páde komunizmu. Hlboko sa zamýšľa nad problémami, ktorým čelíme pri potláčaní medzinárodného terorizmu v rámci ústavy a právneho štátu. Jeho práca analyzuje teoretické základy liberálnej demokracie a skúma vzťah medzi vášňami a obmedzeniami v teórii liberálnej demokracie. Holmesovo písanie ponúka hlboký pohľad na politickú teóriu a výzvy modernej doby.

Why did the West, after winning the Cold War, lose its political balance? In the early 1990s, hopes for the eastward spread of liberal democracy were high. And yet the transformation of Eastern European countries gave rise to a bitter repudiation of liberalism itself, not only there but also back in the heartland of the West. In this work of political psychology, Ivan Krastev and Stephen Holmes argue that the supposed end of history turned out to be only the beginning of an Age of Imitation. Reckoning with the history of the last thirty years, they show that the most powerful force behind the wave of populist xenophobia that began in Eastern Europe stems from resentment at the post-1989 imperative to become Westernized. Through this prism, the Trump revolution represents an ironic fulfillment of the promise that the nations exiting from communist rule would come to resemble the United States. In a strange twist, Trump has elevated Putin's Russia and Orbán's Hungary into models for the United States.
