Abstract

In the second I electoral continuity path i , transitions are initiated by stable ruling parties confident of their ability to thrive under democracy. Were these stable ruling parties created by a violent shock and an unsuccessful push toward democracy? For instance, protests, civil society forces, and sanctions can expedite the process of democratization but are more likely to do so after a violent shock or in the presence of a stable ruling party.[2] A structural factor such as economic development reduces the chances of shocks but enhances the probability of democratization if a shock occurs.

Abstract

Freud in [1] in his paper "Group psychology and the Analysis of the ego" described the split between the individual psychology and the group psychology, as "fictitious". This is a book about the I application i of psychoanalytic and systemic ideas to the understanding of group and organization dynamics, including our own contribution, whether as members or "consultants", to the dynamics that unfold. In the chapter "On change and the resistance to change", Obholzer makes a simple but very prescient observation concerning the willingness to consider and explore how ideas and solutions necessarily change over time regardless of whether one is a clinician, a consultant or a leader; with reference to our own training, Obholzer writes: in training for our professional roles we learn about the "correct" way of going about things.
