What is Fragile Democracies: The Legacies of Authoritarian Rule (Pitt Series in Policy and Institutional Studies) about?

<p>Examining the Marcos and Aquino administrations in the Philippines, and a number of cases in Latin Amarica, Casper discusses the legacies of authoritarianism and shows how difficult it is for popularly elected leaders to ensure that democracy will flourish.

Casper concludes that redemocratization is problematic, even in countries with strong democratic traditions.</p>
