State-Formation and Democratization, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2019 A New Classification Challenges to Democracy in the 21st Century Series
Langue : Anglais
Auteurs : Denk Thomas, Lehtinen Sarah
This book examines the connection between two major developments in the world: state-formation and democratization. Since 1946, the number of states has increased from 66 to almost 200 independent states, but our knowledge of these state-formation processes is limited. The authors present a new database on state-formation and democratization, which enables novel classifications and analyses of these processes on the global level. They argue that the form of state-formation affects the probability for democratization in new states and that the initial regime that state-formation establishes at the time of independence has long-term effects on new states? democratization.
