Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the democratization processes across Europe, either after the Second World War (e.g. West Germany, Italy) or after the fall of communism (e.g. Central and Eastern European countries). These have placed the new political elites in a delicate position in which the arrangements selected should have impeded the restoration of authoritarianism or totalitarianism and ensure the unproblematic consolidation of democracy.
