Free Download Yitzhak M. Brudny, "Coloured Revolutions and Authoritarian Reactions (Democratization Special Issues)"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 0415639573 | EPUB | pages: 158 | 0.7 mb
Between 2000 and 2005, colour revolutions swept away authoritarian and semi-authoritarian regimes in Serbia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine. Yet, after these initial successes, attempts to replicate the strategies failed to produce regime change elsewhere in the region. The book argues that students of democratization and democracy promotion should study not only the successful colour revolutions, but also the colour revolution prevention strategies adopted by authoritarian elites. Based on a series of qualitative, country-focused studies the book explores the whole spectrum of anti-democratization policies, adopted by autocratic rulers and demonstrates that authoritarian regimes studied democracy promotion techniques, used in various colour revolutions, and focused their prevention strategies on combatting these techniques.

English | ISBN: 946372138X | 2022 | 288 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The book identifies to what extent it is possible to speak of a democratization of knowledge in Renaissance Italy. It establishes the boundaries of the present investigation within the Aristotelian tradition, and outlines democratization as a process capable of assigning power to people. It deals with how the democratization of knowledge historically is invested equally in ideas from religion and philosophy, involving the same democratizers, moved by similar intentions, employing identical techniques of vulgarization and targeting equivalent communities of recipients.

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.
