Democracy in Small States

Persisting Against All Odds

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings small states into the comparative politics cannon for the first time. It examines how politics is practiced in the smallest states where hyper-personalization has always been a ubiquitous feature of political life, and finds that hyper-personalized democracy can actually persist against all odds.
