Descrição
“Giuseppe Di Palma’s book could not be more timely, given the snowballing events that are gaining momentum in Eastern and Western Europe. . . . It represents a truly fresh look at the red-hot issue of transitions to democracy.”—Joseph LaPalombara, Yale University
r To Craft Democracies Giuseppe Di Palma Is democracy a hot-house plant? Is it difficult to transplant it into new soil? The fall of so many dictatorships in the last few years-first in Southern Europe, then in Latin America, now in Eastern Europe-opens new, more optimistic perspectives on democratic development. The crises of dictatorships and the search for a new political order offer fertile ground for an examination of how best to effect democratic transitions. Otimo estado em ingles * 248 pp *** Sac 021*
