It studies a peculiar form of chaos; cycling; that can exist in majority rule institutions when institutional rules are weak. It identifies cycling in an important institutional setting--the Russian national legislature--and shows that poor institutional design has important consequences for the consolidation of democracy in transitional countries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614188814487,"sku":"9780521801126","price":7667.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521801126.webp?v=1775091685","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/when-majorities-fail-9780521801126","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
