[208]-216) and index.Providing an in-depth comparative study of democracy formation, Gellar traces Senegal's movement from a pre-colonial aristocratic order towards a modern democratic political order. Inspired by Tocqueville's methodology, he identifies social equality, ethnic and religious tolerance, popular participation in local affairs, and freedom of association and the press as vital components of any democratic system. He shows how centralized state structures and monopoly of political power stifled local initiative and perpetuated neo-patrimonial modes of governance.Political evolution and institutional change.AfricaPolitics and governmentComparative governmentAfricaHistoryPolitical scienceHistory, ModernAfrican PoliticsComparative PoliticsAfrican HistoryPolitical ScienceModern HistoryAfricaPolitics and government.Comparative government.AfricaHistory.Political science.History, Modern.African Politics.Comparative Politics.African History.Political Science.Modern History.320.9663Gellar Sheldon243487Indiana University, Bloomington.Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784161203321Democracy in Senegal3818594UNINA
