Book Information

The essays in this book explore the changing and constant features of the process of democratization in Europe since 1800. The editors see democratization as an intermittent process concentrated in the European context, into four periods: the first wave of the nineteenth century democratization in Western and Northern Europe; the post-Versailles stage of advance and retreat in both old-established and newly created states; the post-1945 wave amongst states and societies defeated in the World War II, distinguished by having democratic constitutions imposed upon them; and the post-1970 process in Southern Europe, the former Soviet Union and the post-Communist states of East-Central Europe.
