Political Leadership, Nascent Statehood and Democracy : A comparative study Paperback / softback
by Ulrika Moller, Isabell Schierenbeck
Part of the Democratization and Autocratization Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Do political leaders determine whether a polity will receive a democratic future or not?
Research and advocates of democracy agree on the significance of political elites for democratization, yet there is a need for a more specific understanding of their role. This book develops a theory of political leadership at the point of nascent statehood to explain the emergence of resilient democracies.
It employs four diverse case studies to examine the role of leadership and democratic consolidation.
In doing so, the book identifies certain capacities of political leaders at the critical moment of nascent statehood as decisive to the future democratic quality of their state.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, democratization studies, state building, leadership, nationalism, Middle Eastern studies and South Asian studies.
