Zusammenfassung:
In 'Peaceful and Violent Origins of Voting Rights', Toke S. Aidt and Raphaël Franck articulate a new process-based perspective on the study of democratization through a detailed analysis of the Great Reform Act of 1832. Aidt and Franck apply their approach to the Reform Bill through econometric analyses that draw on rich micro-political data to show why the reform succeeded despite significant opposition at three different stages: in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, as well as winning popular support in a general election. By viewing democratic reform as a process rather than as a single event, the book presents new insights into the underlying forces of democratisation processes.
