Reviews

“This book takes an in-depth look at democracy and its limitations in several areas of the world. Through case studies of Iran and Jordan, as well as of countries from other regions, the contributors identify two types of impediments to democratization: institutional, cultural, ideological, and leadership weaknesses on the one hand; and factors related to representation, equal opportunity, and justice on the other. The individual case studies assess the achievements and challenges that countries face in the democratization process, and offer insights about the prospects for democratic development.” —Middle East Journal “Some of the topics addressed include the role of women in Jordanian and Tunisian political life, patronage in South Korean politics, the prospects for greater political liberalization in the Middle East, institutional reform in Mexico, and institution building in China. The most authoritative chapter is Scott Mainwaring’s study of democratic survivability in Latin America.” —Choice
