Conspiracy theories are widely viewed as a cause of democracy’s current crisis. Challenging this orthodoxy, Nicolas Guilhot shows that they thrive at moments of acute disenfranchisement, when political systems fail to provide credible pathways toward a better future. Conspiracy is a consequence, rather than a cause, of political crisis.
