Beschreibung

"Manning effectively explores the theoretical reasons these countries pursued democratic methods and goals, and the extent to which elections contribute to an evolutionary democratization process... The wealth of comparative evidence from African, Latin American, and European political and socioeconomic sources is impressive and enriches the analysis... Recommended." - CHOICE
