Democratization from Above
The Logic of Local Democracy in the Developing World
Democratization from Above seeks to explain why some national and
state governments in the developing world introduce reforms to make local
governance more democratic while others neglect or actively undermine
democracy at local levels of government- The study challenges conventional
wisdom that local democratization is implemented as a means of granting
more autonomy to local actors. Instead, Anjali Bohlken argues that local
democratization offers higher level government elites who lack control over
party organizational networks an alternative means of increasing the effec-
tiveness of local intermediaries on whom these elites rely to mobilize political
support. The book starts with a focus on India and uses original data, and
a combination of qualitative and quantitative evidence, to show support for
the argument. The study then relies on an original cross-national dataset to
show how the argument helps explain the variation in the implementation of
local democratization reforms across the developing world.
Anjali Thomas Bohlken is an assistant professor in the department of politi-
cal science at the University of British Columbia. She received her Ph.D. from
New York University in 2.010. Bohlken specializes in comparative politics
and political economy with an emphasis on India.
