This exciting new handbook provides a global overview of the
process of democratization, offering chapter by chapter discussion
at both the country and regional levels and examining the
interaction between the domestic and external factors that affect
the progression of countries from authoritarian to democratic rule.
Bringing together 29 key experts in the field, the work is designed
to contrast the processes and outcomes of democratic reform in a
wide range of different societies, evaluating the influence of
factors such as religion, economic development, and financial
resources. It is structured thematically into four broad sections:
Section I provides a regional tour d'horizon of the current state
of democratisation and democracy in eight regions around the world
Section II examines key structures, processes, and outcomes of
democratisation and democracy Section III focuses on the
relationship between democratisation and international relations
through examination of a range of issues and actors including: the
third and fourth waves of democracy, political conditionality, the
United Nations, the European Union, the African Union, and the
Organisation of African States Section IV Examines the interaction
between democratisation and development with a focus on poverty and
inequality, security, human rights, gender, war, and conflict
resolution. A comprehensive survey of democratization across the
world, this work will be essential reading for scholars and
policy-makers alike.
