Democratization by Elections: A New Mode of Transition,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Contested, multiparty elections are conventionally viewed as either an indicator of the start of democracy or a measure of its quality. In practice, the role that elections play in the transition from authoritarian rule is much more significant. Using as a starting point Guillermo ODonnell and Phillipe C. Schmitters 1986 classic, Transitions from Authoritarian Rule, and Robert Dahls original formulation of democratization as the outcome of increasing the costs of repression while decreasing the costs of toleration, this volume subjects to critical empirical tests the thesis that repeated elections positively affect democratic rights and processes.The first section uses global and quantitative regional studies based on new and unique data sets to present and rigorously evaluate the debate on the democratizing power of elections. The second section looks closely at specific electoral mechanisms and types of elections in Africa, postCommunist Europe and Eurasia, Latin America, the Middle East, and North Africa to uncover those that support the longterm institutionalization of a democratic transition. The concluding section develops and formalizes a theory of democratization by elections. Each chapter includes indepth discussions of policy implications and a wealth of statistical information.Featuring contributions by leading scholars of democracy, original research, and worldwide and countryspecific data on elections and democracy, this collaborative exploration of the effect of elections on democratic transitions represents the cutting edge of comparative democratization studies.Contributors: Jason Brownlee, Valerie J.
