N2  - The eight authors in this edition offer new insights and research findings that deepen and support the book's reconceptualization of democracy anchored on three essential elements: an expanded notion of accountability for public officials; a sensitivity to regime outcomes as measured by key indicators on the human quality of life; and a definite period for assessing the effectiveness of these practices and outcomes. Among the various aspects of the democratization process examined rigorously in this book are: elections, political parties, political families, institutional checks and balances, civil society, decentralization, media, and political socialization
