Transición y Consolidación Democrática en Rumania y Polonia al Finales del Siglo XX
Transition and Democratic Consolidation in Romania and Poland at the End of the XXth Century

Summary/Abstract: The issue of transitions to democracy and the studies on it has had their rise in the last decade of the last century, but entered in the oblivion with the new millennium. Today, the new examples of transitions, especially in the Arab world, made that this issue was transformed back into a topic of interest. This article attempts to analyze political developments in Romania and Poland in the late XXth century, a very important period for them in our opinion. It is the end of the eighties when the two countries emerge from non-democratic regimes and took the road towards democracy and the rule of law. We have chosen to analyze this decade because we believe that the transition process and the processes that have occurred in early years of democratic consolidation are the most important for the future destiny of Romania and Poland, and that the developments that occurred in this period have effects until today.
