Democratic Practice - Origins of the Iberian Divide in Political Inclusion

Democratic Practice explains why democracies diverge in their de facto commitment to political inclusion. The book extracts large lessons from the comparison of Spain and Portugal, showing how cultural legacies of national pathways to democracy have shaped assumptions about political conduct, which generate multiple consequences in economic, cultural and political life.
