Description
Transitions to Democracy explores the factors that initiate and sustain democratic systems. This collection of essays by distinguished scholars responds to and extends Dankwart A. Rustow's influential article, first published in 1970.
The authors examine the relationship between the causes of democratization and the conditions necessary for democracy to endure. As the world continues to evolve, this timely collection provides valuable insights into the promotion of democratic government in regions previously dominated by authoritarian regimes.
