内容説明
In 1760, no polity in the world was democratic in any way we would now recognize. In 1995, there were democratic states on every continent and in every region. The struggle to create, sustain, and entrench democratic political systems is one of the central narratives of modernity. This textbook surveys and explores this story. Part I is an introduction to the book as a whole, an overview and elaboration is offered of the key explanatory models of democratization. Part 1 refines the description of a regime's democratic status, and it explores the models and strategies of comparative analysis used in the book. While each of the subsequent 20 chapters can stand on their own, they have all been framed by a shared engagement with and discussion of the dynamics of democratization set out here. Part II surveys the course of democratization in the West from 1760 to 1989, examining both the early breakthroughs of the French and American Revolutions and the inter-war crisis of European democracy. The post-war era is covered by discussions of the impact of WWII, the democratic revolutions in Southern Europe and the struggle of the American Civil Rights movement.
Part III examines the experience of Latin America and Asia. The Latin American case is covered in two chapters stretching from the 1930s to the 1990s. Finally, the conclusion both reviews the regional variations in democratization, and considers the pressing question of how democracies once created can be sustained. "Democratization" should provide students and teachers with a useful resource for examining the complex fate of democratic politics across the world.

内容説明
In 1760 no polity in the world was democratic in any way we would now recognize. In 1995 there were democratic states on every continent and in every region. The struggle to create, sustain, and entrench democratic political systems is one of the central narratives of modernity. Democratization is the first textbook comprehensively to survey, explore and engage with this story.
In Part I, the introduction to the book as a whole, an overview and elaboration is offered of the key explanatory models of democratization; this section also refines the description of a regime's democratic status and explores the models and strategies of comparative analysis used in the book. While each of the subsequent twenty chapters can stand on their own, they have all been framed by a shared engagement with and discussion of the dynamics of democratization set out here.
Part II surveys the course of democratization in the West from 1760 to 1989, examining both the early breakthroughs of the French and American Revolutions and the inter-war crisis of European democracy. The post-war era is covered by discussions of the impact of World War II, the democratic revolutions in Southern Europe and the struggle of the American Civil Rights movement.
Part III examines the experience of Latin America and Asia. The Latin American case is covered in two chapters stretching from the 1930's to the 1990's. In the Asia section the comparative trajectories of Asia's two giants - China and India - are contrasted with the experience of East Asia's original tigers (Taiwan and South Korea) and more recent industrializing states (Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia).
In Part IV the relative weakness of democratization in Africa and the Middle East is interrogated. Surveys of the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa are complemented by individual case studies (Israel-Palestine and South Africa) and a synoptic examination of the relationship between Islamic culture, society and democracy.
In Part V, the democratic revolutions of 1989 and their aftermath are examined in chapters on Eastern Europe and Russia. The enmeshment of these processes of democratization with nationalist struggles are highlighted in a study of former Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia while the particular course of the remaining socialist states is examined in a chapter on Vietnam.
Finally, the conclusion both reviews the regional variations in democratization and considers the pressing question of how democracies once created can be sustained.
Democratization will provide students and teachers with an invaluable and engaging resource for examining the complex fate of democratic politics across the world.
