This 1993 book assesses differing experiences of the transition to
democracy in the countries of Southern Europe, Latin America and
Eastern Europe. The authors try to determine what the conditions
for successful transitions are. They argue against the 'big bang'
approach, espoused by many advisors to reforming countries, on the
grounds that this approach bypasses the newly formed institutions
of democracy and, ultimately, may undermine the necessary consensus
to support painful economic reforms. The most successful reforms,
they argue, have been those agreed upon through a process of
democratic negotiation. A new democracy must offer politically
important groups incentives to process their demands within the
democratic institutional framework; otherwise, their support will
be tenuous and the system may collapse under the strains incurred
by painful economic reforms.
