  aThis volume analyzes regime politics in the developing world. By focusing on the civilian, collective actors that forge democracy and sustain it, this book moves beyond materialist arguments focusing on GDP, poverty, and inequality. With case material from four continents, this volume emphasizes the decisive role played by parties and movements in forging democracy against the odds. These pivotal collectivities are consistently the key civilian collectivities that successfully mobilized for democracy, that helped forge enduring democratic institutions, and that shaped the quality of the democracies that emerged; they are the ones tasked with mobilizing along a range of social cleavages, confronting seemingly inhospitable conditions, and coordinating the process of regime change. While the presence of parties and movements alone is not sufficient to explain democracy, their absence is detrimental to enduring democratic regimes. Thus, this volume refocuses our attention on parties and movements as critical mechanisms of regime change. 7aPolitical partieszDeveloping countries.2BUEsh928846 7aDemocracyzDeveloping countries.2BUEsh93712 7aDeveloping countriesxPolitics and governmenty21st century.2BUEsh  bBUSBOLcMarch20191 aBermeo, Nancy Gina,d1951-eeditor.1 aYashar, Deborah J.,d1963-eeditor.  2ddc  00102ddc40708AlahramaMAINbMAINc1STd2019-03-20ePurchaseg469.00h526l0o320.91724 PARp000043275r2025-07-15 00:00:00v586.25yBB
