| Abstract
|
:
|
"Institutions are the channels of political power. The design of political institutions matter in how democracies work. This has been Arend Lijphart's life work, and it is this fundamental insight that Democracy and Institutions explores." "These essays offer both theoretical insights into the context and implications of Lijphart's ideas as well as empirical exploration of the ideas." "Democracy and Institutions will be of interest to political scientists, lawyers, and sociologists who study institutions, the impact of electoral systems, constitutional design, and globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
