| Inhalt |
This course surveys some of the literature on the historical evolution of regimes in order to discuss the following questions: How does the democratization process in established democracies differ from the one in newer democracies? What are the social, economic, cultural or political prerequisites of democracy? How can we measure democracy? Using major democratization theories as an analytical tool, this seminar looks at the historical evolution of democracy and autocracy in specific countries. Though the first part of the seminar looks at established democracies, the main focus of the seminar is going to be on new democracies, which experienced regime change during the 1970s or 1980s, or after 1989. Specifically, this means that the case studies during the course are going to be countries that are often classified as hybrid or semi-authoritarian regimes, such as the ones in Latin America, South-Eastern Europe or Middle East and North Africa. The first part of the seminar discusses some classic literature on democratization, with a strong focus on structuralist–historical explanations. The second part aims to link the discussed theories with the above – mentioned countries. Case studies on selected countries serve to dig deeper into the theoretical assumptions and to learn more about the specific context and structural constraints a country might have. The aim of the seminar is to give the students an overview of articles and texts with different perspectives on the democratization process. Moreover, students should be able to critically engage with the readings and to link them to past and contemporary issues.
