- Double-weighted statement
- This is a longer-form output of around 140,000 words based on five years of research, including nationally representative surveys in Kenya, Ghana and Uganda; an oral history based on 300 interviews; archival and newspaper research in seven archives; and in-country experimental laboratory games with over 600 participants. The book makes two contributions. First, it develops a theoretical framework for understanding the moral economy of elections, generating new insights into the processes of state building and democratisation and their delivery for citizens. Second, the book analyses the political history of three countries from the colonial era to the present day.
