'Democratization' is a concept often used in academic book titles,
yet not many of them deal with the initial breakthrough of
democratization. This research companion presents an alternative
view to the widespread assumption that Western democracies should
be the normative reference for the study of democratization
elsewhere. Rather, it questions the universal validity of such an
assumption by searching the history of European politics and by
paying specific attention to the struggles of democratization
accomplished outside Western Europe. The authors apply a
comparative approach to analyzing debates in the primary sources in
a number of countries and languages and situate the results into a
broader European context. Focusing on European democratization from
different historical and analytical perspectives, they discuss the
politics, concepts and histories involved in democratization as a
complex of changes that has altered the conditions of political
action and debate in the continent for the past two centuries.
