Hussain. 330 $aMuch has been written about democratizing Afghanistan and Iraq, yet a clear-cut, theoretically-enriching, and empirically thick comparative analysis remains overdue for societies as divided as these two. To partly fill in the vacuum, this book utilizes various theories and stages of international negotiations(which catalyzed democratization in both cases) in interpreting both cases, while also distinguishing between endogenous and exogenous democratization forces. How electoral democracy came about in both cases is traced from the negotiating table through at least 4 stages and 6 chapters. The study finds democratization being more stable when left on its own momentum (as in Afghanistan) than when conflict-driven (as in Iraq). Though full-fledged democracy does not appear inevitable in either case, the study's insightful exploration of its interface in Islamic communities and as a Bush Doctrine component alerts us to fasten our seat belts before elections beckon again. 410 0$aInternational studies in sociology and social anthropology ;$vv. 113. 606 $aDemocratization$zAfghanistan 606 $aDemocratization$zIraq 606 $aDemocracy$zAfghanistan 606 $aDemocracy$zIraq 606 $aComparative government 607 $aAfghanistan$xPolitics and government$y2001- 607 $aIraq$xPolitics and government$y2003- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aComparative government. 676 $a320.9567 700 $aHussain$b A.
