Description: In this book Somit and Peterson argue that humans are social primates with an innate tendency for hierarchical and authoritarian social and political structures and that democracy requires very special "enabling conditions" before it can be supported by a state conditions that require decades to evolve. As a result attempts to export democracy through nation - building to states without these enabling conditions are doomed to failure.
