It’s not directly related to what you’re looking for, but {{How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop Them by Barbara F.

And goes into the factors that place a country along that scale, and talks about various countries that have moved one way or another along it.
A more direct answer would be {{How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them by Jason Stanley}} or {{How Democracies Die by Steven Levitsky}}
