It is a major addition to the literature on post-authoritarian transitions and on the "how-to" of consolidating democracy after dictatorship. In an era of undue pessimism about the fate of democracy worldwide, it is a timely reminder of how democratic transitions can be made to work. * Orbis: A Journal of World Affairs * ... In evoking all of these collective distilled experiences from some of the world most successful politicians from recent decades, Bitar and Lowenthal also convey their passion for democracy forcefully, and they enable the college freshman and the scholar to understand better the events and processes that have shaped the world for the better in which we live.  0aPolitical leadershipvCase studies. 4aDemocratizaciónvEstudio de casos 4aLiderazgo politicovEstudio de casos 0aDemocratizationvCase studies.1 aBitar Chacra, Sergio,  d1940-eeditor1 aLowenthal, Abraham F., d1941-eeditor2 aInternational Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, (International IDEA), Stockholm
