Yet, relatively few countries have managed to transition successfully to democracy, and none of them have attained what Fathali M. Moghaddam calls \"actualized democracy,\" the ideal in which all citizens share full, informed, equal participation in decision making. The obstacles to democratization are daunting, yet there is hope. What is it about human nature that seems to work for or against democracy? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Psychology of Democracy \u003c\/i\u003eexplores political development through the lens of psychological science.
