Political Development and Democratic Theory: Rethinking Comparative Politics

By Steven J. Hood

Book Overview

Comparativists evaluate democratization by looking at regimes in the transition and consolidation phases of democracy without considering the essence of democracy. This book argues the need to consider democracy as a combination of rights and virtues, and that problems of democraticization are those of balance.
