Editorial Reviews

Taking examples from Argentina, Haiti, Iran, South Korea, Ukraine, and other countries for a total of 40, Francisco (political science, U. of Kansas) traces political transformation from its roots to its results. He analyses how regimes fail, how new ones arise, and what it takes to forge stability and democratic government. In a balance of theory and experience, he highlights the process from collapse to consolidation of power and such intermediate states as ethnic strife, economic disruption, nationalism, and fundamental religion.
