Beschreibung:
In an era when democracy is increasingly snagged on the age-old practice of patronage, students and scholars of political science, comparative politics, democratization, and international development and economics will be interested in this assessment, which calls for the study of better, more efficient, and just governance.
This collection of essays addresses timely and important themes in political science, sociology, and public policy associated with developing countries. The list of contributors features a nice balance of senior scholars with well-known reputations and junior scholars doing important work. -- Kenneth F. Greene, The University of Texas at Austin
