Opis

Democratization has sought – and continues to seek – to build on the enduring scholarly and of course popular interest in democracy, how and why it emerges, develops and becomes consolidated. The emphasis over the last 20 years of the journal has been contemporary and the approach comparative, with a strong desire to be both topical and authoritative. This collection of superb articles reflects these concerns.
