International Politics - Region: Middle- and South America, grade:

course: Modul P2 - Demokratisches Regieren im Vergleich, language:
English, abstract: The debate of Seymour Martin Lipset's
modernization theory with its involved main claim of a strong
correlation between democratization and socio-economic
modernization is discussed on a deepened level by the pioneers of
transformation studies. Tatu Vanhanen appositely clarified that -
at the best case - developing countries are passing through a
political modernization process by achieving the final stage of
democracy at the same extent as their socio-economic development
(Vanhanen 2003). Based on this thought the transformation
scientists do widely agree: by all means, there has to be an
evident interdependence between the level of socio-economic
development and the ability for democracy. But is this causality a
necessary or even a sufficient condition? If we want to go further
into this question, Latin America might be a fruitful area.
Especially in the presently proclaimed "century of globalization
and power shift" there is a considerable research interest on
developing global areas such as Latin America1. According to the
assignment's title my research question is: how meaningful is the
impact of socio-economic parameters for the democratization of
postauthoritarian countries of the "Third Wave" in Latin America?"
