  9. Parsing Democratization Ways of thinking of democratization literature: • Prerequisites for democratization • Actual process of democratization (once initiated) • Stabilization/consolidation • Democratic deepening/maintenance

  10. Parsing Democratization, II Broadly, we’ve encountered the following: • Social factors • Geographic factors • Historical factors • Economic factors

  11. Parsing Democratization, III We can further sub-divide the previous into: • Endogenous (domestic) categories • Elite versus mass reform • Agency versus structure • Exogenous categories • International • Transnational • Supranational

  12. Combining All That Teorell synthesis of approaches in the literature (2010): • Structural approaches (e.g. Lipset 1959) • Strategic approaches (e.g. Rustow 1970) • Social force approaches (e.g. Moore 1966) • Economic approaches (e.g. Przeworski & Limongi 1997; Boix & Stokes 2003)

  13. Linz and StepanConditions for a consolidated democracy “State-ness” is key Five inter-related conditions proceed from this: • Free and lively civil society necessary • Autonomous political society • Rule of law • Functioning state and bureaucracy • Economic society

  14. Linz and StepanDemocratization caveats • Diverse populations = more difficult • Democracy possible under diversity, but requires careful institutional crafting • Some ways of dealing with state-ness issues are incompatible with democracy
