Examining thirty-six democracies during the period from 1945 to 2010, Lijphart arrives at important-and unexpected-conclusions about what type of democracy works best.

The best-researched book on democracy in the world today.\";-Malcolm Mackerras, American Review of Politics\"; I can't think of another scholar as well qualified as Lijphart to write a book of this kind. He has an amazing grasp of the relevant literature, and he's compiled an unmatched collection of data.\";-Robert A. Dahl, Yale University\"; This sound comparative research . . . will continue to be a standard in graduate and undergraduate courses in comparative politics.\";-Choice"]
