Providing an in-depth comparative study of democracy formation,
Gellar traces Senegal's movement from a pre-colonial aristocratic
order towards a modern democratic political order. Inspired by
Tocqueville's methodology, he identifies social equality, ethnic
and religious tolerance, popular participation in local affairs,
and freedom of association and the press as vital components of any
democratic system. He shows how centralized state structures and
monopoly of political power stifled local initiative and
perpetuated neo-patrimonial modes of governance.
