Summary:

Among the states that have moved from authoritarianism in the past 15 years, most have not moved beyond the mere procedures of democracy. This excellent scholarly resource provides a comparative account of the internal security situations of Morocco and Indonesia, and focuses on democracy and its non-democratic institutions in an era of stalled liberalization.
