Recenzje

In Multiethnic Democracy, Jeremy Horowitz challenges the conventional wisdom that political competition in Kenya revolves solely around ethnic-based patronage and the forging of elite coalitions. Analyzing an impressive range of data sources, he shows that candidates also routinely engage in broad-based appeals, often favoring universal policies that benefit a wider range of citizens. His optimistic and nuanced portrait of how democratic incentives can foster normatively desirable outcomes rests on a foundation of solid empirical evidence with important implications for the study of African political development.
