This book investigates the successes and failures in
consolidating those democratic regimes that emerged in Europe and
Latin America in the last quarter of the 20th century.
The theoretical approach developed combines the most prominent
political-institutional and socio-structural approaches to
explaining the Consolidation of Democracy (CoD). Reinterpreting
conventional claims, Schneider s comparative analyses of 32
countries indicates that the driving force behind CoD is the fit
between the institutional type of democracy and the societal
context in terms of power dispersion. This book:
- presents new data measuring dimensions of regime transition
processes in Latin America, the Middle East and Northern Africa, as
well as some former Soviet republics;
- reassesses some core assumptions of the dominant transition
paradigm;
- discusses general methodological issues involved when
investigating causally complex claims in comparative social
research and presents fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis
(fsQCA) as a valuable addition to the methodological tool kit of
comparative social scientists.
This innovative and important volume will be of interest to
political scientists, particularly those with an interest in
democracy, democratization, comparative politics and comparative
methodology.
