52 Fun Family Devotions: Exploring and Discovering God's Word
What are the determinants of democratization? Do the factors that move countries toward democracy also help them refrain from backsliding toward autocracy? This book attempts to answer these questions through a combination of a statistical analysis of social, economic, and international determinants of regime change in 165 countries around the world in 19722006, and case study work on nine episodes of democratization occurring in Argentina, Bolivia, Hungary, Nepal, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, and Uruguay. The findings suggest that democracy is promoted by long-term structural forces such as economic prosperity, but also by peaceful popular uprisings and the institutional setup of authoritarian regimes. In the short-run, however, elite actors may play a key role, particularly through the importance of intra-regime splits. Jan Teorell argues that these results have important repercussions both for current theories of democratization and for the international community's effort in developing policies for democracy promotion.

Rated 5 starsWe are really enjoying this.
By Thriftbooks.com User,
I bought 3 or 4 devotional books to try and adapt to use with my small Awana group. This one is the best of all of them. So far I've used about 10 activities out of this book and none from any of the other books. I have to adapt them somewhat for a group setting but the kids and I are really enjoying it.
