This book brings together the conceptual and theoretical writings
of Joseph Schumpeter, Robert A. Dahl, Guillermo O'Donnell, and T.
H. Marshall. It demonstrates that most of the different conceptions
of democracy in the democratization literature can be ordered in
one systematic regime typology that distinguishes between 'thinner'
and 'thicker' definitions of democracy. The authors argue that the
empirical pattern revealed by this typology is explained by the
combination of internal structural constraints and international
factors facilitating democracy. The result of such contending
forces is that most of the democratizations in recent decades have
only produced competitive elections, rather than 'more demanding'
attributes of democracy such as political liberties, the rule of
law, and social rights. Examining theoretical and empirical
approaches to measuring, defining and understanding democracy, the
book will be of interest to scholars of political theory and
comparative politics in general and democratization studies in
particular.
