Theoretical works on democratic transition and democratization have also emphasized the internal conflict resolution capacity of democracy. It...

What followed outraged many on both sides of the political fence. The sound bites lent themselves to commentators easy, negative analysis of the sermons. In the traditional media, commentators offered an interpretation, couched in the language of patriotism, that...
