Description
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.
Thomas Denk is Chair Professor of Political Science at Γrebro University, Sweden. His research focuses on democratization, political culture, state-formation, and political methodology.
Sarah Lehtinen is Research Analyst at the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (BRΓ
) and former Researcher in Political Science at Γ
bo Akademi University, Finland. She has examined how political institutions during state-formations are developed and democratized, investigated the conditions of democratic diffusion, and developed quantitative databases.
