Democracy and Democratization in Comparative Perspective: Conceptions, Conjunctures, Causes, and Consequences (Democratization and Autocratization Studies)

This book provides an introduction to democratic theory and empirical research on democracy and democratization. The book first examines conceptions of democracy from the origins in ancient Greece to the present day, then tracks when and where modern democracy has developed. On this basis, the book reviews the major debates and schools of thought dealing with domestic and international causes and consequences of democratization. Based on a systematic distinction between minimalist and maximalist definitions of democracy, the book provides a comprehensive and critical assessment of existing theories. Furthermore, using a comparative, historical perspective, it not only sketches the development in the conceptions of democracy and the corresponding empirical reality but also discusses whether causal relationships differ across periods. Finally, the book documents the way in which all of this has been reflected by the development within the literature. In doing so, the book offers a coherent framework, which students and scholars can use to grasp the literature on democracy and democratization as a whole. Democracy and Democratization in Comparative Perspective will be of interest to students of political science, democracy and democratization, comparative politics, political theory, and international relations.

Democratization and Autocratization in Comparative Perspective: Concepts, Currents, Causes, Consequences, and Challenges

Varieties of Democracy is the essential user's guide to The Varieties of Democracy project (V-Dem), one of the most ambitious data collection efforts in comparative politics. This global research collaboration sparked a dramatic change in how we study the nature, causes, and consequences of democracy. This book is ambitious in scope: more than a reference guide, it raises standards for causal inferences in democratization research and introduces new, measurable, concepts of democracy and many political institutions. Varieties of Democracy enables anyone interested in democracy - teachers, students, journalists, activists, researchers and others - to analyze V-Dem data in new and exciting ways. This book creates opportunities for V-Dem data to be used in education, research, news analysis, advocacy, policy work, and elsewhere. V-Dem is rapidly becoming the preferred source for democracy data.

Vi elsker demokrati, men ingen af os kan rigtig sAette ord pa kAerligheden. Det er nok derfor, diktatorer kan udrabe sig selv som sande demokrater. Og derfor deres undersatter bilder sig ind, at det er svaret pa deres bonner. Men et folkestyre forer ikke altid til fornuftige beslutninger; det er bade omstridt og uretfAerdigt og loser ikke verdens problemer pa magisk vis - undtagen det med tyranni. Heldigvis er Svend-Erik Skaaning, demokratiforsker ved Aarhus Universitet, ikke bange for at hAeve stemmen: Vi er vilde med demokrati, fordi det er den mindst darlige styreform.
