What makes people agree to the extension of political rights to
those they clearly dislike? This book moves beyond the extensive
research on this question in western contexts to focus on the
global south, offering unique empirical studies of political
tolerance in plural societies where poverty is prevalent and
democratic institutions can often be fragile. Based on extensive
data gathered in India, Pakistan and Uganda, this volume offers an
account of the factors that shape the foundations of a society and
its capacity to be democratic, but where the need for the
protection of human rights is great and where the state is either
weak or even constitutes a counter-force against the rights of
individuals and groups. Combining large scale survey data with
in-depth interviews in each national setting, the author
exemplifies the great variation of factors which are related to
political tolerance, shedding light on the fundamental patterns
existing in the organization of state-society relations and the
ways in which they produce certain results owing to the manner in
which the forces of modernization operate. A broad and empirically
informed study of what shapes the foundations of a democratic
society in modernizing nations, Political Tolerance in the Global
South will appeal to scholars of sociology and political science
with interests in democracy, human rights, diversity and tolerance.
