"Magnificent.. The best-researched book on democracy in the world today." (Malcolm Mackerras, American Review of Politics) "I can't think of another scholar as well qualified as Lijphart to write a book of this kind. He has an amazing grasp of the relevant literature, and he's compiled an unmatched collection of data." (Robert A. Dahl, Yale University) "This sound comparative research... will continue to be a standard in graduate and undergraduate courses in comparative politics." (Choice)"
