Product Review
"By analyzing topics such as political knowledge, ethnicity, and internal party politics thorough the lens of agency theory, Controlling Governments offers fresh insights into how citizens use their votes to influence elections and political stability. The book is a significant contribution that will be valuable to anyone interested in the comparative study of political representation." John D. Huber, Columbia University "Controlling Governments represents an enormous advance in empirical democratic theory. The volume underscores the obstacles that voters face in holding democratic governments accountable and thus points toward reforms that may strengthen accountability. The chapters in this tightly integrated volume contain important new findings about how democracy works, such as that incumbency is an electoral disadvantage in developing democracies, that voters hold parties of the right and left to different performance standards, and that more-sophisticated voters pay more attention to performance, less-sophisticated ones to ideology. It will be must reading for positive and normative theorists of democracy and for students of comparative politics and government." Susan Stokes, Yale University
