This book explores the course and causes of the worldwide diffusion
of democracy through an assessment of the political and economic
development of individual countries from the year 1800 to 2005.
Using this extended range of data and examining multiple variables,
Barbara Wejnert creates a conceptual model for the diffusion of
democracy and to measure national democratization. The author
characterizes each nation's political system, its networking with
other countries, level of development, and media advancement, in
order to pinpoint what leads to national and regional progress to,
or regress from, democratization. Her innovative findings challenge
established thinking and reveal that the growth of literacy does
not lead to democratization but is instead an outcome of democracy.
She also finds that networks between non-democratic and democratic
states are more important to a nation's democratization than
financial aid given to non-democratic regimes or the level of
national development.
