1. Economic crisis 2. Losing a major military conflict

 Performance as source of legitimacy for recent authoritarian regimes.  Legitimacy to particular government rather than procedures of regime.

 Democratic regimes: legitimacy of regime rules and procedures as well as current government.

 Economic Crisis › E.g. oil crises and 1979  Oil-importing countries suffered.  Argentina, Greece.

 Loss of Major Military Conflict › Argentina (Falklands-Malvinas) › Greece (Cyprus) › Portugal (colonial wars) › USSR (Afghanistan)

aka “Transitology”

??

 Actions much less determined by structural factors during transition.  Sense of freedom, loss of fear.

 Democratization may work better if liberalization precedes democratization (Huntington). › E.g. South Africa.

 Hard-liners (standpatters) in government: › Hard-line apartheid supporters in white minority government.  Soft-liners (reformers) in government: › E.g. F.W. de Klerk – if no reform, regime unsustainable.  Moderates in opposition: › Mandela in ANC – limit demands to political procedural democracy, not economic.  Radicals in opposition: › Demand socioeconomic equality or African-run regime. › Willing to use violence.

 If hardliners very strong, democratization can’t occur.  If soft-liners and opposition moderates both strong, democratization likely.  If radicals very strong, either radical outcome or hard-liner backlash occurs.

Initial Liberalization “Resurrection of Civil Society” - protests, disorder, demands Demobilization of Civil Society Soft-liners believe they can keep control of transition Hard-liners’ fears of disorder seem confirmed; their allies increase – fear of coup As fear of coup increases, opposition becomes more vocal People become tired and run out of resources; Soft-liners and moderates have become majority; negotiating over details rather than regime type
