"An interesting, informative, readable, and important book. By looking carefully at the separate historical traditions of the Dominican Republic and Jamaica (authoritarian versus democratic), the institutions and process of government (presidential versus parliamentary), the internal and external milieu in which politics operates, the competitive constituents within each state, and the ways in which political performance has been judged locally, Hillman and D'Agostino persuasively conclude that "regimes in both countries exhibit characteristics that are neither strictly authoritarian nor truly democratic. While Dominican leaders have struggled to realize democratic ideals within a history of anarchy and authoritarianism, Jamaican democracy has been challenged by inherent authoritarian impulses." The bibliography is excellent, and the major generalizations appear valid for small, resource-scarce states anywhere. All levels."-Choice
