	abstract = {Liberal democracy has been difficult to institute and sustain in developing countries. This has to do both with ideational factors{\textemdash}the absence of a liberal tradition prior to electoral mobilization{\textemdash}and structural conditions{\textemdash}the prevalence of mass mobilization along identity rather than class cleavages. This paper considers the conditions under which liberal democracy emerges and speculates about its future in developing countries.}
