[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 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aComparative government 606 $aAfrica$xHistory 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aAfrican History 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aModern History 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aAfrica$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 14$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aAfrican History. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aModern History. 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 $a9910969791103321 996 $aDemocracy in Senegal$94328411 997 $aUNINA
