The second edition of this popular and authoritative text provides a truly global assessment of democratization in theory and practice in the contemporary world. It has been systematically revised and updated throughout to cover recent developments, from the impact of 9/11 and EU enlargement to the war in Iraq.

Although born during the inter-war period of Fascism, the Franco regime managed to survive into the predominantly liberal-democratic era of Western Europe after 1945. The book takes as its major theme the complex and changing relationship between the internal structures of dictatorship and civil society.
