One of the greatest challenges in the twenty-first century is to
address large, deep, and historic deficits in human development.
Democracy at Work explores a crucial question: how does democracy,
with all of its messy, contested, and, time-consuming features,
advance well-being and improve citizens' lives? Professors Brian
Wampler, Natasha Borges Sugiyama, and Michael Touchton argue that
differences in the local robustness of three democratic pathways -
participatory institutions, rights-based social programs, and
inclusive state capacity - best explain the variation in how
democratic governments improve well-being. Using novel data from
Brazil and innovative analytic techniques, the authors show that
participatory institutions permit citizens to express voice and
exercise vote, inclusive social programs promote citizenship rights
and access to public resources, and more capable local states use
public resources according to democratic principles of rights
protections and equal access. The analysis uncovers how democracy
works to advance capabilities related to poverty, health, women's
empowerment, and education.
