INTL 190: Democracy in the Developing World Spring 2012

THE STATE OF DEMOCRACY: OVERVIEW Schedule and Assignments Synthesis: Diamond, Spirit of Democracy, Chapters 8-11 Collier and Levitsky, “Democracy with Adjectives” Munck and Verkuilen, “Conceptualizing and Measuring Democracy” <optional>

“SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY” Purposeful action: “struggle, strategy, ingenuity, vision, courage, conviction, compromise, and choices by human actors… politics in the best sense of the word.” “Increasingly, democratic values and aspirations are becoming universal…” “a change of heart” Question: “can the whole world become democratic?”

POLITICAL REGIME TYPES Electoral democracy = free and fair elections Liberal democracy = democratic elections + “thick” dimensions (citizen rights) Illiberal democracy = elections without all other attributes (citizen rights) Pseudemocracy ̴ electoral authoritarian regimes Note: authoritarianism ≠ totalitarianism
