English | ISBN: 1793643067 | 2021 | 250 pages | PDF | 1228 KB
Democratization and Military Coups in Africa: Post-1990 Political Conflicts studies the seemingly endless cycle of coups that have occurred in Africa since the "Free Officers Coup" of 1952 in Egypt. Unfortunately, after more than three decades of the "third wave of democratization" that began in the 1990’s, military coups remain a firm figure on the African political landscape. Although the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and its successor, the African Union (AU), have developed and implemented anti-coup norms, they have not deterred coup-makers.

Free Download Christl Kessler, "Democratization through Migration?: Political Remittances and Participation of Philippine Return Migrants"
English | ISBN: 1498514219 | 2016 | 196 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
In migration research, studies on the influence of return migrants on the societies in their home countries are still few and predominantly concentrate on the economic dimension of migration. The literature on democratization has likewise paid only scant attention to the external factors that play a role in the transition of states in the process of becoming more democratic. Cognizant of these lacunae in research on migration and democratization, this book sets out to argue that return migrants can play an important role in the consolidation process of young democracies. The goal is therefore to explore the nature of this influence and to discuss its stabilizing as well as destabilizing aspects with regards to democratization. As a case study this book analyzes "labor exporter par excellence," the Philippines.

Free Download Ois’in Tansey, "Regime-Building: Democratization and International Administration "
English | ISBN: 0199561036 | 2009 | 248 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This book explores a particular form of democracy promotion that is carried out by international actors in the context of ‘international administration’. The practice of international administration involves external actors, such as the United Nations, assuming governmental control in weak or postconflict states, often with the aim of assisting with conflict resolution or statebuilding. This book examines one major element of these operations, namely the democracy promotion activities they pursue and the influence they have on processes of regime change. The book examines three cases of international administration in detail, those in Kosovo, Bosnia and East Timor, and uses the insights from these cases to highlight both the positive and negative impact on democratization efforts.

Free Download Dennis C. Canterbury, "Neoliberal Democratization and New Authoritarianism"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0815390602, 1138356557 | EPUB | pages: 216 | 0.6 mb
Originally published in 2005. Domestic and foreign economic and political policies in the rich capitalist nations in the North and in the poor countries in the South are geared towards globalization and democratization. Indeed the dominant view held by countries in the North is that globalization leads to democracy and vice versa, and that in turn economic development will result from that process. Thus many scarce resources are allocated to bring about globalization and democracy. Exploring the dynamics of change that allow for the persistence of authoritarian states in the Third World, this illuminating book highlights certain aspects of democratization that have not been investigated fully. Anyone interested in development politics and political sociology will draw a plethora of important theoretical insights into globalization, authoritarianism and transition/democratization from this original study.

Free Download Andrew Selee, "Decentralization, Democratization, and Informal Power in Mexico"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0271048433, 0271048441 | EPUB | pages: 208 | 1.3 mb
In the last two decades of the twentieth century, many countries in Latin America freed themselves from the burden of their authoritarian pasts and developed democratic political systems. At the same time, they began a process of shifting many governmental responsibilities from the national to the state and local levels. Much has been written about how decentralization has fostered democratization, but informal power relationships inherited from the past have complicated the ways in which citizens voice their concerns and have undermined the accountability of elected officials. In this book, Andrew Selee seeks to illuminate the complex linkages between informal and formal power by comparing how they worked in three Mexican cities. The process of decentralization is shown to have been intermediated by existing spheres of political influence, which in turn helped determine how much the institution of multiparty democracy in the country could succeed in bringing democracy "closer to home."
