Abstract |
In my previous publications, I have shown that systemic power configurations may impact democratic transitions. This paper logically extends this systemic approach by considering the impact of polarity and polarization on democratic survival. In my earlier works, I have argued that systemic uncertainty raised by multipolarity and polarization is likely to impact political elite behavior leading to their concession to share political power. In this study, to extend this argument to democratic survival, I use dynamic logit models on 6114 observations, and 154 country clusters ranging from 1946 until 2000. The results support the argument that polarity and polarization have significant impact on democratic consolidation as well as democratic transitions. Keywords - Democratic Transitions, Democratic Survival, Polarity, Polarization. | |||||||||
