Compare any two political maps, one from the early twentieth
century and one from the present, and you will notice that the
world now contains more democracies than it used to. How and why
did democracy spread around the world? How do we recognize
democracies when we see them? And what does the future of democracy
look like? This book shows you how to define and measure democracy,
and to identify what democracies have in common. It evaluates
important recent trends in democratization and the challenges that
face it including: - Democratic decay - Populism, authoritarianism
and the far right - Threats posed by global terrorism and sectarian
violence - The rise of 'illiberal democracies' - Declining civic
participation. Analysing economic development, education,
industrialization and other factors, Democratization shows you the
internal political, economic and social conditions that help or
hinder democratization. Looking at globalization, political aid,
military intervention and the 'neighbourhood'-effect, it also
explains how external factors put pressure on democratic reform.
Covering key theories, such as modernization and democratic peace
theory, and with case studies from Indonesia to the Zapatista
movement, this is the ideal text for those studying democratization
for the first time.
