Leading scholars survey well-established democracies, such as the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and France; relatively established democracies, such as Germany, Italy, India, and Israel; and more recently established democracies, such as Turkey, Poland, and Spain.

The final chapter explores how political institutions may be connected to democracy for best performance of the political system.
