Elites and Democratic Transitions by Regime Transformation in Southern Europe

Bag om Elites and Democratic Transitions by Regime Transformation in Southern Europe

This book examines three cases of democratic transitions by self-transformation of the non-democratic regimes in Southern Europe¿the Spanish reforma pactada-ruptura pactada of 1976-77, the Greek ¿Markezinis experiment¿ of 1973, and the Turkish democratic transition of 1983¿in a comparative perspective. The author argues that a democratic transition initiated by the regime elites is, in contrast to widely held assumptions and notwithstanding some reservations on whether democracy can be (re-)introduced by non-democrats, worth viewing as a ¿window of opportunity¿ for democratisation. It is up to the democratic counter-elites to respond to it, using the civil society and the international factor as allies to achieve their goal of acquiring more concessions from the regime.
