Description

This book examines the connection between two major developments in the world: state-formation and democratization.

Since 1946, the number of states has increased from 66 to almost 200 independent states, but our knowledge of these state-formation processes is limited.

The authors present a new database on state-formation and democratization, which enables novel classifications and analyses of these processes on the global level.

They argue that the form of state-formation affects the probability for democratization in new states and that the initial regime that state-formation establishes at the time of independence has long-term effects on new states’ democratization.
