In countries as diverse as India, Ecuador, and Uganda, governments are responding to frustrations by mandating greater participation at the local and state level. Officials embrace participatory reforms, believing that councils and committees lead to improved accountability and more informed communities. Yet there''s been little research on the efficacy of these efforts to improve democracy, despite an explosion in their popularity since the mid-1980s. Democracy from Above? tests the hypothesis that top-down reforms strengthen democracies and evaluates the conditions that affect their success. Stephanie L. McNulty es the global context of participatory reforms in developing nations. She observes and interprets what happens after greater involvement is mandated in seventeen countries, with close case stus of Guatemala, Bolivia, and Peru. The first cross-national comparison on this issue, Democracy from Above? explores whether the reforms effectively redress the persistent problems of discrimination, elite capture, clientm, and corruption in the countries that adopt them. As officials and reformers around the world and at every level of government look to strengthen involvement and confidence in the political process, McNulty provides a clear understanding of the possibilities and limitations of nationally mandated participatory reforms.
