Abstract

In the second I electoral continuity path i , transitions are initiated by stable ruling parties confident of their ability to thrive under 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.
