1. Democratization

   Democratization, or democratisation, is the transition to a more democratic political regime, including substantive political changes moving in a democratic direction. It may be a hybrid regime in transition from an authoritarian regime to a full democracy, a transition from an authoritarian political system to a semi-democracy or transition from a semi-authoritarian political system to a democratic political system.The outcome may be consolidated (as it was for example in the United Kingdom) or democratization may face frequent reversals (as happened in Chile). Different patterns of democratization are often used to explain other political phenomena, such as whether a country goes to a war or whether its economy grows. Whether and to what extent democratization occurs has been attributed to various factors, including economic development, historical legacies, civil society, and international processes. Some accounts of democratization emphasize how elites drove democratization, whereas other accounts emphasize grassroots bottom-up processes. The opposite process is known as democratic backsliding or autocratization.

1. democratization

   Democratization is the process of transforming a political system or government from a non-democratic one, such as an authoritarian regime or monarchy, into a democracy, where power is vested in the people who rule directly or through freely elected representatives. This transition typically involves major changes in the governance structures, such as the implementation of free and fair elections, the establishment of rule of law, the protection of human rights, freedom of speech and the press, and promotion of equal participation in political and civic life.
