Book Description:

Kapstein and Converse make use of a unique data base of all democratizations since 1960 to explore the reasons for backsliding and reversal in the world's fledgling democracies. Unlike an earlier generation of scholarship, Kapstein and Converse find that the core of the problem lies with poor institutional design.
