A distinguished group of scholars examine recent transitions to
democracy and the prospects for democratic stability in Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Portugal, Spain and
Uruguay. They also assess the role of elites in the
longer-established democratic regimes in Columbia, Costa Rica,
Italy, Mexico and Venezuela. The authors conclude that in
independent states with long records of political instability and
authoritarian rule, democratic consolidation requires the
achievement of elite 'consensual unity' - that is, agreement among
all politically important elites on the worth of existing
democratic institutions and respect for democratic
rules-of-the-game, coupled with increased 'structural integration'
among those elites. Two processes by which consensual unity can be
established are explored - elite settlement, the negotiating of
compromises on basic disagreements, and elite convergence, a more
subtle series of tactical decisions by rival elites which have
cumulative effect, over perhaps a generation.
