Summary:
"Why are some countries more democratic than others? By neglecting colonialism, existing research overlooks origins: for most non-European countries, elections began under Western colonial rule. Analyzing a global sample of colonies across four centuries, this book explains the emergence of colonial electoral institutions and their lasting impact"-- Provided by publisher
