Balancing historical and contemporary cases, this comparative text
examines the crucial question of what promotes or prevents the
successful founding of democratic systems. The country case studies
are placed in context by a substantial introduction surveying
theories of democracy and democratic transition and by a conclusion
assessing the cases and suggesting common patterns in the
establishment of successful democracies. Underscoring lessons
learned from successful regime change and assessing current efforts
to establish democracies whose ultimate fate is yet uncertain, this
book will enable students to evaluate the chances of success for
societies making the transition from an authoritarian or communist
regime. The case studies are placed in context by a substantial
introduction surveying theories of democracy and democratic
transition and a conclusion comparing the cases and suggesting
common patterns in the establishment of successful democracies.
Created for upper-level students, this book can be used as a
primary text to be supplemented by theoretical readings or as a
source of additional case studies. Extensive notes provide a wealth
of suggestions for further reading and research.
