Opis

This book brings small states into the comparative politics cannon for the first time. It examines how politics is practiced in the smallest states where hyper-personalization has always been a ubiquitous feature of political life, and finds that hyper-personalized democracy can actually persist against all odds.

Recenzje

The book makes an important contribution to the study of democratisation, encouraging a new perspective on processes that lead to democracy and its persistence.
