About the Book

Following the unexpected demise of communism in Central and Eastern Europe, the end of apartheid in South Africa, and signs that democracy is finally taking root in Latin America, the study of the evolution of democracy has emerged as one of the most vital fields in comparative political science and political sociology. This book brings the collected wisdom of several world-renowned political scientists to bear on what is now termed "transitology" - the study of changes from an authoritarian regime to a democratic government. European and American scholars analyze the advent of democratic norms - in practice and in theory - as well as the possible catalysts that threaten to destabilize fledgling and established democratic systems.
