Recenzje

Hiskey and Moseley make an original and important contribution to our understanding of subnational dominant party enclaves by examining these enclaves through a new lens: the beliefs and behaviors of the citizens who reside in them. Using varied data from Argentina and Mexico, the authors demonstrate that undemocratic local political regimes affect how citizens engage with both subnational and national politics. This lucid book is highly recommended reading for anyone seeking to understand how subnational undemocratic regimes affect the quality of national democracy.
