Dynamics of Democratization

Beschreibung

The author assesses the main theories developed to account for and explain why and how authoritarian regimes give way to democratic ones. The book takes issue with the predominantly élite-centred focus of much of the literature, and illustrates how an understanding of democratization can be gained only if the role of civil society is taken into account.

• Clearly and accessibly written overview of a key phenomenon in contemporary world
  
• Offers a new theory of democratization stressing importance of civil society
  
• Includes a wide range of case studies extremely useful for students
