{"product_id":"democracy-in-small-states-persisting-against-all-odds-9780198796718","title":"Democracy in Small States: Persisting Against All Odds","description":"Populism and the personalization of politics appears to be threatening the existence of democracy as we know it all over the world. It is now more important than ever to understand the history of this form of regime: why it has thrives and fails. But, existing studies are limited by their\u003cbr\u003efocus on a few large and predominately rich states. This book takes the opposite approach: it investigates how politics is practiced in the smallest states where hyper-personalization has always been a ubiquitous feature of political life. It optimistically finds that hyper-personalized democracy\u003cbr\u003ecan actually persist against all odds, but also cautions that political practices in small states are often markedly different to larger states. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003e Oxford Studies in Democratization\u003c\/em\u003e is a series for scholars and students of comparative politics and related disciplines.
