Rezensionen

"Political science has focused heavily on democratic institutions in recent years but far less on the understanding of basic state capacity, whose absence often undermines democracy. Making Democratic Governance Work is an important book that helps enormously to fill this critical gap in our understanding." - Francis Fukuyama, Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow, Freeman Spogli Institute, Stanford University
