Huntington’s Definition of Democracy
• Huntington offers two definitions of democracy that apply to different periods of time.
• Definition 1 • -Applies to 19th Century.
–50% of adult males can vote. –There is an executive that either
maintains majority support in an elected parliament, or is chosen in periodic popular elections.
![Page 5: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Huntington’s Definition of Democracy
• Definition 2 • - Applies to 20th Century.
–Virtually all adults can vote.–Leaders are selected through fair,
honest and periodic elections.
![Page 6: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The First Wave: Why?
• Occurred mostly in Northern Europe and white settler countries. The causes are:
1. Economic Factors:– First countries to experience economic
development, industrialization and urbanization.– Emergence of middle class.– Decrease in economic inequality.
![Page 7: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The First Wave: Why?
2. Historical events and intellectual developments:
– French Revolution.– American Revolution.– John Locke.– Montesquieu.– John Stuart Mill.
![Page 8: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The First Wave: Why?
3. Religious Factors– Over 75% of the countries that democratized in
the first wave had majority Protestant populations.
4. World War One– Democratic countries defeated two large
authoritarian empires, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires.
– This produced snowballing, or a demonstration effect, that encouraged the development of democracy.
![Page 9: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Second Wave: Why?
• The second wave is largely related to WW2.
1. Imposition of Democracy.– Allied powers imposed democracy on certain
defeated countries, such as Japan and Germany.
2. Snowballing (demonstration) effect.– Some countries independently chose to be
democratic.
![Page 10: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Second Wave: Why?
3. Decolonization.– Countries that had a number of colonies
(e.g. Britain, France, Holland and Portugal) were severely weakened after WW2.
– The United States pressured these countries to give up their colonies.
– Many former colonies became independent and democratic.
![Page 11: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Third Wave: Why?
• Some 30 countries became democratic.
1. Legitimacy.– Democratic ideas became widely accepted.– Authoritarian regimes could not solve economic
problems as efficiently as democratic countries.
2. Economic Growth.– Higher standards of living and education
contributed to the expansion of the urban middle class.
![Page 12: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Third Wave: Why?
3. Change in the Catholic church.– The Catholic church, which used to be a
supporter of authoritarian regimes, changed its doctrine and practice and supported democracy.
4. Foreign Policy.– Expansion of the EU.– Promotion of democracy and human rights by
the United States.– Fall of the Soviet Union.
![Page 13: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Third Wave: Why?
5. Snowball (or demonstration effect).– Early third wave transitions received
great media attention, which later stimulated transitions in other countries.
![Page 14: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Democratic Transition
• Democratic transition requires three components.
1. The end of an authoritarian regime.
2. The installation of a new democratic regime (through elections).
3. The consolidation of this democratic regime.
![Page 15: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

A/a-d-DA = stable, long-lasting authoritarian regime.
D = stable, long-lasting democratic regime.
a = unstable, short-lived authoritarian regime.
d = unstable, short-lived democratic regime.

Processes of Democratization
• Huntington identifies three different types of democratization process.1. Democratic transformation.
– takes place when powerholders take the lead in bringing about democracy.
2. Democratic replacement.– takes place when opposition groups take the lead in
bringing about democracy. Old authoritarian regime is overthrown.
3. Democratic transplacement. – takes place when there is joint action by the
government and opposition groups to promote democratization.
![Page 17: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Prospects for Democratic Consolidation
• The following conditions facilitate democratic consolidation.
1. Previous experience of democracy.2. Relatively high GNP per capita.3. Favorable external environment. 4. Democratic transition at an earlier, rather than later,
stage in the third wave.5. Democratization via transplacement, rather than
transformation or replacement.
• The following slides discuss each of these conditions more in detail.
![Page 18: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. Previous Democratic Experience
• Huntington argues that:– Some experience of democracy is better
than none. – Longer experience of democracy is better
than shorter experience.– The more recent the democratic
experience, the better.
![Page 19: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Chart: Years of Democratic Experience

10-19 years Greece, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Korea, Pakistan, Brazil
1-9 years Argentina, Honduras, Guatemala, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Grenada, Nigeria
Less than one year Spain, Portugal, El Salvador, Poland, Romania, East Germany, Bulgaria, Nicaragua, Sudan, Mongolia

2. Level of Economic Development
• The higher level of economic development, the greater the likelihood of stable democracy.
• Economically developed countries have:– More industrialized economies.– More modern economies.– More complex societies.– Better educated populations.
• These factors all help consolidate democracy.
![Page 21: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

3. The External Environment
• A foreign country can have a positive influence on democratic consolidation, if the relevant foreign government:– is itself democratic.– promotes democracy in other countries.– has close relations with the third wave country in
question.– is able to exercise influence in the third wave
country in question.
![Page 23: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

4. The Timing of the Democratic Transition
• Early = Indigenous– Earlier democratizations are more likely to be the
result of indigenous causes, rather than a snowball effect.
• Indigenous = Consolidation– Democratic transitions caused by indigenous
factors are more likely to lead to consolidated democracies.
• Therefore, Early = Consolidation– The earlier a country democratizes within the third
wave, the more likely it is to become a consolidated democracy.

5. Process of Democratic Transition
• Huntington identified three processes of democratic transition; transformation, replacement and transplacement.
• Huntington argues:1. There is more chance of a successful democratic
consolidation if elites from the previous non-democratic regime are satisfied.
2. There is less chance of democratic consolidation if the transition involved violence.
• If the above statements are true, it follows that transplacement is most likely to lead to consolidated democracy.

What encourages democratization?
![Page 35: Democratization Hartanto Respati University of Yogyakarta.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb35503460f94bbb22c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Internal Factors that Encourage Democratization…
• National unity– ‘togetherness’• Political leadership-- personalities• Historical legacy-- colonialism• Political culture– people view power• Ethnic harmony-- cooperation• Strong political parties-- brokerage• Political institutions—legisl; judiciary• Socioeconomic development– middle class• Relationship among classes–bourgeoisie• National security– no external threat

• International organizations– UN declaration of human rights– International law; ICC
• State pressure– EU; foreign aid
• Economic Factors– MNCs, entrepreneurs– Globalization
• Waves of democracy– Huntington: “snowballing”
External Factors thatEncourage Democratization…

George W. Bush on November 6th 2003 at the National Endowment for
Democracy “As long as the Middle East
remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place of stagnation, resentment, and violence, ready for export…. The establishment of a free Iraq at the heart of the Middle East will be a watershed event in the global democratic revolution.”
