Patterns of Democracy: Government Forms and Performance in Thirty-Six Countries / Lijphart, Arend

In this updated and expanded edition of his classic text, Arend Lijphart offers a broader and deeper analysis of worldwide democratic institutions than ever before. 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
