Contrary to predictions, author Devra Moehler finds that participation contributes to the creation of 'distrusting democrats' citizens who are democratic in their attitudes, but suspicious of their governmental institutions in practice.

Participation raises democratic expectations and alerts citizens to existing democratic deficits. The general implications for constitution-building countries are clear: short-term risks of disillusionment and instability; and long-term advantages from a more sophisticated citizenry capable of monitoring leaders and promoting political development. Moehler's analysis is based on in-depth interviews, archival research, and a national random-sample survey of 820 Ugandan citizens.'A gem.
