For more than twenty years, the "Journal of Democracy" has been
a leading voice in the conversation between scholars and
practitioners about government by consent and its place in the
contemporary world.
If democracy means anything, it means robust debates. Over the
years, the pages of the "Journal" have certainly seen their share
of lively and illuminating scholarly disagreements. As a service to
students and teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of the
questions and controversies that surround contemporary
democratization, the "Journal" has now brought together a series of
exchanges on the topic.
"Debates on Democratization" explores the issues of democratic
consolidation, the reality of the transition paradigm, the
advisability of attempting to "sequence" elections and other
liberal-democratic reforms, the nature and prospects of the "color
revolutions" in the former Eastern Bloc, and the relative merits of
presidentialism and its alternatives from the point of view of
democratic governance and stability.
The volume is filled with insightful, thought-provoking
arguments by leading thinkers in the field. Graduate and
undergraduate students alike will find it a useful guide to key
issues facing emerging democracies today.
