4 Widmalm, Sten
Political tolerance in the global south : images of
India, Pakistan and Uganda / Sten Widmalm.-- London:
Routledge, 2017.
xxiii, 243p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9780815366935.
306.2091724 WID 146032
What makes people agree to the extension of political
rights to those they clearly dislike? This book moves
beyond the extensive research on this question in western
contexts to focus on the global south, offering unique
empirical studies of political tolerance in plural
societies where poverty is prevalent and democratic
institutions can often be fragile. Based on extensive
data gathered in India, Pakistan and Uganda, this book
offers an account of the factors that shape the
foundations of a society and its capacity to be
democratic, but where the need for the protection of
human rights is great and where the state is either weak
or even constitutes a counter-force against the rights of
individuals and groups.
