Losers' Consent: Elections and Democratic Legitimacy - Comparative Politics
Anderson, Christopher J. (, Department of Political Science, Syracuse University)
Based on data from contemporary democracies, this book examines how election losers and their supporters respond to their loss and how institutions shape losing. It shows how being able to accept losing is one of the central requirements of democracy, and provides an understanding of political legitimacy and comparative political behaviour.
