Democratization from Above seeks to explain why some national and
state governments in the developing world introduce reforms to make
local governance more democratic while others neglect or actively
undermine democracy at local levels of government. The study
challenges conventional wisdom that local democratization is
implemented as a means of granting more autonomy to local actors.
Instead, Anjali Thomas Bohlken argues that local democratization
offers higher level government elites who lack control over party
organizational networks an alternative means of increasing the
effectiveness of local intermediaries on whom these elites rely to
mobilize political support. The book starts with a focus on India
and uses original data, and a combination of qualitative and
quantitative evidence, to show support for the argument. The study
then relies on an original cross-national dataset to show how the
argument helps explain the variation in the implementation of local
democratization reforms across the developing world.
