Al treilea val al democraţiei
The Third Wave of Democracy

Summary/Abstract: There were three main waves of democratization across the globe in the last two centuries, each of them followed by a reverse wave. Since the early ‘70s we have witnessed to the rise and spread of the third such wave, which has included parts of Latin America, Southern Europe and the Communist Eastern Europe. Many social, economic and geo-political factors have contributed to this development. However, we can already see in action the factors favoring the third reverse wave.
