The 2010's was a critical period in the continuing, established
trend of the spread of democracy worldwide: from the Arab Spring
countries of Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Yemen to the unfolding
turmoil of Myanmar and Ukraine, by way of the upheavals in Burkina
Faso, Senegal and Ivory Coast, social mobilisation against
autocratic, corrupt, or military regimes has precipitated political
transitions that are characteristic of "democratisation." This book
examines the state of democratisation theory and practice that
reopens and revives the democratic transition debate, exploring the
factors that lead to the demise of autocracy, the pathways and
processes of change, and the choice for an eventual consolidation
of democracy. For all its insights and shortcomings, the framework
of transitology - a body of literature that has comparatively and
through case-study analysis, examined common patterns, sequences,
crises and outcomes of transitional periods - has been largely
eschewed. The essays, written by international democratisation
specialists, tackle the series of questions raised by a body of
literature that remains highly useful to understand contemporary
political turbulence and transformation, considering numerous
crucial issues. This work will be of key interest to scholars,
students and practitioners of governance, democratisation,
comparative politics, international relations, political science
and more broadly, history.
