Using the case studies of Greece and Turkey, the author argues that while majoritarianism is often celebrated as a manifestation of popular sovereignty, it can undermine institutional performance. In cases of transition states where social capital is scarce and polarization is high, it can even upset the process of democratic consolidation, contributing to a confrontational and inefficient democratic regime. A "mild democracy" would require a calibrated system of checks and balances, trust- and consensus-building mechanisms. This book will be of use to students and scholars interested in the fields of Greek and Turkish politics, law and democratization. 410 0$aReform and Transition in the Mediterranean,$x2945-6428 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aComparative government 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aPolitical Sociology 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 676 $a321.8 700 $aGrigoriadis$b Ioannis N$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0855592 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300489803321 996 $aDemocratic Transition and the Rise of Populist Majoritarianism$91910208 997 $aUNINA
