Synopsis:

Why do some democratic governments succeed and others fail? In a book that has received attention from policymakers and civic activists in America and around the world, Robert Putnam and his collaborators offer empirical evidence for the importance of "civic community" in developing successful institutions. Their focus is on a unique experiment begun in 1970 when Italy created new governments for each of its regions. After spending two decades analyzing the efficacy of these governments in such fields as agriculture, housing, and health services, they reveal patterns of associationism, trust, and cooperation that facilitate good governance and economic prosperity.

Review:

"It is rare that one comes across a classic in political science, yet in Robert D. Putnam's 'Making Democracy Work' we undoubtedly have one..."

New York Times Book Review

Review:

"Seminal, epochal, path-breaking: All those overworked words apply to a book that, to make the point brazenly, is a 'Democracy in America' for our times."
