Sources of Democratic Responsiveness in Mexico, Paperback by Cleary, Matthew .... Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (). Sources of Democratic Responsiveness in Mexico, Paperback by Cleary, Matthew R., ISBN 0268023018, ISBN-13 9780268023010, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Cleary (political science, Syracuse University) uses evidence from Mexico to prove that various types of political participation and engagement can have the beneficial effect that is usually attributed to elections. He draws on existing theoretical frameworks that explain government responsiveness as a function of electoral accountability mechanisms, direct participatory pressure, or a combination of the two. Cleary looks at how Mexico's institutional structures limit the effectiveness of some democratic processes, and attributes government responsiveness to a shift in participatory politics that began in the 1970s and continues into the present. An appendix provides background on fractionalization indices as measures of electoral competitiveness. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
