- catalog abstract ""Forging Democracy from Below shows how popular mobilization - in El Salvador led by an effective guerrilla army supported by peasant collaboration and in South Africa led by a powerful alliance of labor unions and poor urban dwellers - transformed elite economic interests, thereby forcing elites to the bargaining table, and why both a durable settlement and democratic government were the result. Using interviews with both insurgent and elite actors as well as analysis of macroeconomic data, Elisabeth Wood documents an "insurgent path to democracy" and challenges the view that democracy is the result of compromise among elite factions or the modernizing influence of economic development."--Jacket.".
