"Why are 'free and fair' elections so often followed by democratic backsliding? Elections
in Hard Times answers this critical question, showing why even clean elections fail
to advance democracy when held amidst challenging structural conditions. The book
opens with a comprehensive, accessible synthesis of fifty years of research on elections
and democratization, a resource for experts, policymakers, and students. It then develops
a new theory of why elections fail in countries with little democratic history or
fiscal resources, and a history of violent conflict. In a series of five empirical
chapters, the book leverages an eclectic mix of cross-national data, short case studies
and surveys of voters to support this theory. It closes with a careful examination
of popular strategies of democracy promotion, evaluating steps designed to support
elections. This book will attract academic experts on democratization and elections,
students and policymakers"
