In Democratization through the Looking-Glass, Peter Burnell
provides a revealing image of how our knowledge and understanding
of democratization could be improved by viewing the topic through a
more multi- disciplinary lens and from the perspective of more
broadly based comparative analyses. Burnell and his contributors
encourage readers to both "look and think outside of the box,"
beyond the limited parameters that usually shape the study of
democratization. The goal of Democratization through the
Looking-Glass is to pursue a more comprehensive understanding of
democratization as a process taking many forms rather than just as
a political phenomenon. With a viewpoint from a wider
multi-disciplinary stance, and broader global geopolitical
knowledge base, the contributors hope to get readers to better
recognize and address gaps in the political science literature on
the subject of democratization. The contributors seek to do this by
specifically: explaining what democratization is while also making
sense of the wide variety of experiences undergone by different
societies at different times going through this very process;
anticipating the wider effects of democratization's consequences
for all human conditions at all levels; and critically assessing
strategies for extending and deepening democracy by improving its
positive qualities and chances of being sustained in societies into
which it is introduced. This volume takes readers in the direction
of predicting and foretelling the future of democracy and
democratization with greater accuracy. In all, Democratization
through the Looking-Glass provides a wide-ranging review of themes,
issues, and topics concisely written by leading experts in their
fields while advancing its case for more inclusive comparative
studies covering Europe and North America, as well as developing
regions, showing precisely how multi-disciplinary approaches
enhance a global vision and understanding of democratization.
