Examining thirty-six democracies during the period from 1945 to 2010, Lijphart arrives at important-and unexpected-conclusions about what type of democracy works best. Praise for the previous edition:";Magnificent. . . . The best-researched book on democracy in the world today.";-Malcolm Mackerras, American Review of Politics"; I can't think of another scholar as well qualified as Lijphart to write a book of this kind. He has an amazing grasp of the relevant literature, and he's compiled an unmatched collection of data.";-Robert A. Dahl, Yale University"; This sound comparative research . . . will continue to be a standard in graduate and undergraduate courses in comparative politics.";-ChoiceDemocracyComparative governmentElectronic books.Democracy.Comparative government.320.3Lijphart Arend143554MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462076703321Patterns of democracy13705UNINA
