Nonviolent Resistance and Democratic Consolidation
Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem
This book presents the outcomes of a multi-year project that used a mixed-methods approach to demonstrate that democracies emerging from peaceful protest last longer, achieve higher levels of democratic quality, and are more likely to see at least two peaceful handovers of power than democracies that emerged out of violent resistance or top-down liberalization. Nonviolent resistance is not just an effective means of deposing dictators; nonviolent movements also help to consolidate democracy after the transition from autocratic rule.Importantly, these positive effects persist for a decade or more after transition, raising the question of how nonviolent resistance can have such a long-term impact post-transition. Drawing on case studies on democratic consolidation in Africa and Latin America, the authors find that nonviolent resistance creates a more inclusive transition process that produces institutions, elite bargains and a political culture that make a country more resistant to democratic breakdown in the long term.weiterlesen
