Drawing together a veritable Who\u2019s Who of eminent scholars\u2014including two of O\u2019Donnell\u2019s closest collaborators, Philippe Schmitter and Laurence Whitehead\u2014the volume examines issues related to democratic breakdowns and stability, the nature and quality of new democracies, institutional strength, the rule of law, and delegative democracy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This reexamination of some of the most influential arguments about democracy of the past forty years leads to original approaches and insights for a new era of democracy studies.
