In the wake of the ColdWar, democracy has gained the status of a mantra. Yet there is no consensus about how to conceptualize and measure regimes such that meaningful comparisons can be made through time and across countries. In this prescriptive article, we argue for a new approach to conceptualization and measurement. We first review some of the weaknesses among traditional approaches. We then lay out our approach, which may be characterized as historical, multidimensional, disaggregated, and transparent.We end by reviewing some of the payoffs such an approach might bring to the study of democracy.

The world has witnessed the creation of new democracies and the maturing of old ones. Yet, everywhere there is democracy, there is also political inequality. Voices of everyday folk struggle to be heard; often, they keep silent. Governments respond mostly to the influential and the already privileged. Our age of democracy, then, is the old age of inequality. This book builds on US scholarship on the topic of political inequality to understand its forms, causes and consequences around the world. Comprised of nine theoretical, methodological and empirical chapters, this path-creating edited collection contains original works by both established and young, up-and-coming social scientists, including those from Latin America, Eastern Europe, Greece and the US. Political Inequality in an Age of Democracy addresses the present and future of the concept of political inequality from multidisciplinary and cross-national perspectives.

This comparative politics thesis attempts to understand recent changes in political strategy and distributive policies by Argentina’s ruling Peronist Party, shifting from a heavy reliance on clientelism—vote buying, patronage, and 'pork'—and towards programmatic, and universal social programs (such as conditional cash transfers). In pursuing these universal voter-linkages, the Peronists seem to have risked their own political viability, seeing as much of their support traditionally comes from clientelistic exchanges. However, through qualitative interviews with politicians, brokers, journalists, voters, and other political actors, this thesis demonstrates that the shift away from clientelism is not strictly about expanding political support overall, but also an attempt by the president to centralize power and electoral support within the traditionally fragmented party and prevent defections by fellow party members. In doing so, this thesis uses the Argentine case to challenge previous scholarship on the issue, which generally considers clientelism and universalism as largely inter-party electoral strategies. With a new three-part model of clientelism—delineating politician, machine, and voter—this thesis attempts to show how decisions to employ or not employ certain strategies do not simply result from political parties as ‘unitary’ actors, but can also stem from intra-party dynamics, competition, and power struggles.

What Is a Case Study and What Is It Good for? JOHN GERRING Boston University his paper aims to clarify the meaning, and explain the utility, of the case study method, a method often practiced but little understood.

Robert Lane's in-depth study of 15 voters in Political Ideology (1962) is said to lack a cross-case dimension, since his cases "cannot be handled within a dataset format" (p. 35). Gerring reaffirms this perspective in the glossary, defining a cross-case study as "a large-sample study" that is "analyzed statistically" (p. 213 ...
