Críticas

Guillermo O'Donnell is one of the most prominent contemporary political scientists. His work will have a major impact on rethinking the relationship between democracy the state, and human development. He calls for a profound rethinking of the state's role in democratic theory and in human development. - Scott Mainwaring University of Notre Dame

Reseña del editor

The primary goal of this collection is to present the rationale and methodology for implementing a citizen audit of democracy. This book is an expression of a growing concern among policy experts and academics that the recent emergence of numerous democratic regimes, particularly in Latin America, cannot conceal the sobering fact that the efficacy and impact of these new governments vary widely. These variations, which range from acceptable to dismal, have serious consequences for the people of Latin America, many of whom have received few if any benefits from democratization. Attempts to gauge the quality of particular democracies are therefore not only fascinating intellectual exercises but may also be useful practical guides for improving both old and new democracies.
