| Summary: | This wide-ranging overview of the processes of democratization in post-Communist Europe, places the transitions in East-Central Europe within a broad European and global context. <p>The authors begin with a introduction to the concept and theories of democracy and then examine the emerging politics of the new democracies to set the post-Communist transitions in longer-term comparative perspective with earlier and existing processes of democratization in</p> <p>Southern Europe, Latin America, and East and Southeast Asia. Finally the politics of EU accession are introduced to place the transitions within the wider context of European integration.</p> <p>Concluding with a summary of recent critiques of modern democracy and</p> <p>looking toward future theories, this text provides a comprehensive introduction</p> <p>to what will remain the key contemporary issue for all students of political</p> <p>science.</p> |
