Democratic resilience or retreat? A cross-area analysis
Forms of democratic backsliding can be observed in many parts of the world. However, some conclusions are overly sweeping or alarmist. A detailed case-based regional analysis reveals distinct patterns in this regard. This study highlights some recent findings from a longitudinal international research project, the Transformation Research Initiative “(TRI), which is now based at the Center for Research on Democracy (CREDO) at Stellenbosch Universi…

Comparative Area Studies
In recent decades, area studies have been transformed from mostly descriptive ethnographic and historical accounts to theory-oriented and analytical approaches. They retain some of their depth and cultural specificity, but have been widened in a comparative sense to come up with some broader social scientific explanations. This has been enhanced by more recent systematic comparative methods such as “Qualitative Comparative Analysis” (QCA) and rel…
Comparative Area Studies
Area studies have undergone significant changes over the last two decades. They have been transformed from mostly descriptive accounts in the international context of the Cold War to theory-oriented and methodological analytical approaches. More recent comparative methods such as “Qualitative Comparative Analysis” (QCA) and related approaches, which are particularly suitable for medium N studies, have significantly contributed to this development…

The Emergence of Democracy
Capitalism and democracy have transformed the world, but not in a harmonious way. This article provides a broad overview of the major driving forces of democracy, its relationship with ongoing socioeconomic developments and some of the countervailing factors. It points to the inherently conflictive nature of democratic procedures and decision-making, but also emphasizes the potentially universal implications of basic democratic values. Against th…

Comparative Area Studies – goldener Mittelweg zwischen Regionalstudien und universalistischen Ansätzen
International Encyclopedia of Political Science
The term cleavage identifies social and political divisions characterized by a close connection between individuals' positioning in the social stratification system, their beliefs and normative orientations, and their behavioral patterns. This close connection contributes to the resilience and stability of cleavages over time. In this entry, the constitutive elements of this concept are discussed and brought into a coherent overall framework that…

Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) as an Approach
Locate QCA as an approach and grasp its key epistemological foundations • Understand how and why QCA is “case oriented” and how one should use QCA to engage in a dialogue between cases and theories • Understand the specific conception of causality conveyed in QCA— multiple conjunctural causation—and its practical consequences • Reflect on the usefulness of QCA to reach a certain level of generalization beyond the observed cases • Grasp key common…
The quality of democracies in Europe as measured by current indicators of democratization and good governance
Despite the steady wave of democratization in recent decades, the progress towards and the levels of democracy vary considerably across Europe. Many studies have been conducted to provide a differentiated outlook at the quality of democracy in each individual country; however, very few attempts have been made to aid the aggregation of discrete information in order to provide some comparative yardsticks for the evaluation of continuing development…

Democratization
Problems of democratization, its successes, failures and future prospects, belong to the most pressing concerns of our times. Empirical democratic theory has received many new impulses since the last ""wave"" of democratization in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and Southeast and East Asia. In this volume the ""state of the art"" in this respect is discussed by leading international experts in this field including Laurence Whitehead, Gerard…
Conditions of Democracy in Interwar Europe
L'analyse des conditions d'emergence et de maintien de systemes politiques democratiques est l'un des themes centraux de la science politique. La periode de l'entre-deux guerres en Europe fournit un cadre unique d'etude comparative des chances et des echecs de la democratie, parce que les exemples a considerer partagent un grand nombre de caracteristiques socio-economiques, politico-culturelles communes. La periode consideree est clairement delim…
Conditions of Authoritarianism, Fascism, and Democracy in Interwar Europe
Comparative political analysis at the macrolevel of political systems can reduce the inevitably high complexity of such comparisons by the systematic matching or contrasting of cases, depending on the particular problem. Such “most similar systems” or “most different systems” designs, in Przeworski and Teune's terminology, thus constitute one of the major ways out of the usual “small N—many variables” dilemma. This article proposes a detailed and…
African Political Systems
This article proposes an historically oriented typology of contemporary African political systems: the polyarchic, the socialist, the civil-authoritarian, and the praetorian. Their performance after independence is evaluated then in terms of Gross National Product (GNP) per capita growth, improvements in the “physical quality of life,” indicators of “dependence,” and normative standards. Closer analysis reveals a differentiated pattern that contr…

Political Culture in Germany
Germany, more than most other countries, has had a dramatic and (for many Germans and non-Germans alike) traumatic history, in particular during the first half of this century. For a keen but wellmeaning observer like Sebastian Haffner it exhibited a 'Jekyll and Hyde'-like quality (Haffner 1940; see also Haffner 1987): on the one hand, the two world wars and, in particular, the atrocities of the National Socialists have terrified the world and, o…
