[208]-216) and index. 330 $aProviding an in-depth comparative study of democracy formation, Gellar traces Senegal's movement from a pre-colonial aristocratic order towards a modern democratic political order. Inspired by Tocqueville's methodology, he identifies social equality, ethnic and religious tolerance, popular participation in local affairs, and freedom of association and the press as vital components of any democratic system. He shows how centralized state structures and monopoly of political power stifled local initiative and perpetuated neo-patrimonial modes of governance. 410 0$aPolitical evolution and institutional change. 606 $aDemocracy$zSenegal$xHistory 606 $aPolitical culture$zSenegal$xHistory 607 $aSenegal$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 676 $a320.9663 700 $aGellar$b Sheldon$0243487 712 02$aIndiana University, Bloomington.$bWorkshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450854203321 996 $aDemocracy in Senegal$92213813 997 $aUNINA
