Building States and Markets after Communism: The Perils of Polarized Democracy - Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics
Frye, Timothy (Columbia University, New York)
This book examines state-building and market-building in 25 post-communist countries from 1990 to 2004. Timothy Frye argues that democracy promotes economic reform, capable state institutions, and generous transfer payments when political polarization is low, but that increases in polarization dampen the positive impact of democracy by making policy less stable.
