More about the book

Focusing on the dynamics of democratic transitions, this book offers fifteen case studies that analyze the fall of oppressive regimes and the emergence of new governance structures. It explores the complexities of citizens' demands for democracy, the resulting political changes, and their varying degrees of success. Drawing on established theories, the authors provide a framework of four key factors for comparing these transitions, making the content accessible for students and valuable for political scientists and policymakers alike.
