Cíle předmětu
The subject is focused on the theory of democratization. Its primary objective is to show the basic theories of democratization, including current phenomenon of so-called de-democratization. In view of this intention, the subject focuses on classical theory of revolutions, on debates on assumptions and reasons of the collapse of non-democracies, the problems of transition to democracy and, finally, the range of models of outputs from these processes (consolidation of democracy, semi-democratization or hybridization), including the reconfigurations of non-democratic regimes. The subject is based, inter alia, on the works of D. Berg-Schlosser, V. Bunce, L. Diamond, J. Grugel, Ch. Haerpfer, S. P. Huntington, J. J. Linz, A. Schedler, J. Teorell, Ch. Welzel and many others. Second part of the modules is dedicated to case studies related to the path from conflict to democracy and back to the conflict.
