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. Praise for the previous edition: Magnificent. . . . 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.
