Table of ContentsReviews<p>“There is much in this project – particularly the focus on transition bargaining among political actors – that could help to advance our understanding of democratization in Africa and around the world. Jennifer Seely unites insights from the two literatures, namely, the pact-making view that the process matters and the path-dependency view that structures are difficult to change. She also has deep country knowledge of the two cases. It is rare to find this kind of extensive use of interviews.”—Leonardo Arriola, Assistant Professor of Political Science, UC Berkeley<p> <p> Professor Seely gives us a powerful set of analytic and empirical tools with which to understand the democratic transitions of the 1990s and their consequences. I could not be more pleased with this excellent study. —Victor T.
