What are the determinants of democratization? Do the factors that
move countries toward democracy also help them refrain from
backsliding toward autocracy? This book attempts to answer these
questions through a combination of a statistical analysis of
social, economic, and international determinants of regime change
in 165 countries around the world in 1972-2006, and case study work
on nine episodes of democratization occurring in Argentina,
Bolivia, Hungary, Nepal, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa,
Turkey, and Uruguay. The findings suggest that democracy is
promoted by long-term structural forces such as economic
prosperity, but also by peaceful popular uprisings and the
institutional setup of authoritarian regimes. In the short-run,
however, elite actors may play a key role, particularly through the
importance of intra-regime splits. Jan Teorell argues that these
results have important repercussions both for current theories of
democratization and for the international community's effort in
developing policies for democracy promotion.
