Democratic transitions have occurred in many countries in various
regions across the globe, such as Southern Europe, Latin America,
Africa, East and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle
East, and these nations have undergone simuntaneously political,
economic and social transformations. Yet, the patterns and
characteristics of transitions have varied significantly, and
different modes of transition have resulted in different outcomes.
This book offers cross-national comparisons of democratic
transition since the turn of the twentieth century and asks what
makes democracies succeed or fail. In doing so it explores the
influence the mode of transition has on the longevity or durability
of the democracy, by theoretically examining and quantitatively
testing this relationship. The authors argue that the mode of
transition directly impacts the success and failure of democracy,
and suggest that cooperative transitions, where opposition groups
work together with incumbent elites to peacefully transition the
state, result in democracies that last longer and are associated
with higher measures of democratic quality. Based on a
cross-national dataset of all democratic transitioning states since
1900, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars
of international politics, comparative politics and democracy, and
democratization studies.
