This volume analyzes regime politics in the developing world. By
focusing on the civilian, collective actors that forge democracy
and sustain it, this book moves beyond materialist arguments
focusing on gross domestic product (GDP), poverty, and inequality.
With case material from four continents, this volume emphasizes the
decisive role played by parties and movements in forging democracy
against the odds. These pivotal collectivities are consistently the
key civilian collectivities that successfully mobilized for
democracy, that helped forge enduring democratic institutions, and
that shaped the quality of the democracies that emerged; they are
the ones tasked with mobilizing along a range of social cleavages,
confronting seemingly inhospitable conditions, and coordinating the
process of regime change. While the presence of parties and
movements alone is not sufficient to explain democracy, their
absence is detrimental to enduring democratic regimes. Thus, this
volume refocuses our attention on parties and movements as critical
mechanisms of regime change.
