Democratic Transitions: Modes and Outcomes

By Gary A. Stradiotto, Sujian Guo, Gary A Stradiotto

Book Overview

This book offers cross-national and longitudinal comparisons of democratic transition since 1900. Through these comparisons, the authors theoretically explore and quantitatively test the empirical relationship between transitional modes and democratic outcomes. A major contribution of this study is the creation of a cross-national dataset of all democratic transitioning states since 1900, which is accomplished through detailed case studies and cross-verification with widely renowned works on transitions. This is the first study to test statistically the impact of mode of transition on the quality and durability of democracy.
