The Limits on Pro‐poor Agricultural Trade in Guatemala
The persistence of rural poverty in Guatemala since the early 1990s challenges the purported association between agricultural export growth and poverty alleviation. Lack of access to education, health and credit, and the historical legacies of land inequality, labour exploitation and ethnic discrimination, are preventing growth from reaching the rural poor. Most analyses, including the World Bank's recent ‘Poverty in Guatemala’ report, fail to co…
Differentiating the democratic performance of the West
It is a commonplace of comparative politics that the democratic performance of the established democracies of the West is both uniform and superior to that of other democracies across the globe. This commonplace both reflects and reinforces the mainstream measures of democracy, like those of Freedom House or Polity III, that fail to differentiate the democratic performance of the West. This article examines this commonplace by deploying the measu…
The Uneven Performance of Third Wave Democracies
This article investigates the performance of the new democracies of the third wave by developing a conceptual model of the core elements of liberal democratic government and by constructing a new Database of Liberal Democratic Performance. The performance is shown to be uneven in two main ways. First, the institutional attributes of democratic government advance while individual and minority rights languish. Second, particular institutional attri…
How to Construct a Database of Liberal Democratic Performance
Measures of democracy have multiplied over the past 20 years, but few studies explain how these measures are constructed. There is little discussion either of their conceptual underpinnings or of their composition and selection. This article aims to make the measures more transparent by examining the decisions that shaped the construction of a new Database of Liberal Democratic Performance. The Database is designed to compare the quality of democ…
Measuring Liberal Democratic Performance
Liberal democratic performance is understood as the delivery of liberal democratic values, and not as regime longevity or government efficacy. Measuring it is a matter of how far liberal democratic governments achieve in practice the values they endorse in principle. It is recognized that the performance of liberal democratic governments varies widely. But extant attempts to measure this variation suffer problems of reliability and validity, and …
Civil and Uncivil Actors in the Guatemalan Peace Process
This paper examines the Guatemalan peace process by focusing on different actors in civil society. It considers the peace negotiations between the government/ military and the guerrillas, rather than the realm of electoral procedures, to be the main locus of political transition. Challenging the work of many elite‐centred theorists of democratisation who claim that civil society is an ephemeral and largely insignificant actor in transitions, the …
