Why do some democratic governments succeed and others fail? In a book that has received attention from policymakers and civic activists in America and around the world, Robert Putnam and his collaborators offer empirical evidence for the importance of "civic community" in developing successful institutions. Their focus is on a unique experiment begun in 1970 when Italy created new More »

[ 5.0 stars ] "Combines rigorous, thorough, and patient empirical observation and analysis with trenchant examination of political theory to produce not just a definitive picture of Italy since the 70s, but also a paradigm-shifting look at democratic institutions as a whole. What the authors discover should be a paramount concern for policy makers world-wide.The reviews on the back all compare Putnam to de Tocqu ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "This book was critical in advancing the idea that civil society helps produce good governance and democracy. The authors examine the differences between Northern and Southern Italy and explain the differences essentially as a result of the different levels of civil society.

[ 3.0 stars ] "This book was required for a neighborhoods and politics class.

But this book compelled me because my family is from Southern Italy so I know there's truth to its core premise that civic trust is lacking there. This book focuses on the pressing issue of how to govern people who don't self-govern - people disposed to break the law when they think ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "This is a very good bit of political science. It is one of the few works that adds to the literature from both a scholarly and practical point of view. The question that is asked within this work is whether social capital influences the performance of democracies. What Putnam et al. find is that, yes, higher amounts of social capital do in fact promote better performance among local and regional g ..." Courtesy by Amazon
