Summary/Abstract: The deconsolidation of democracy is a new phenomenon which is not provided forin the specialized works. This phenomenon was supposed to be unlikely or possible only through acoup d’etat or after a war. But countries such as Poland, Hungary and Romania (in an incipientform) have shown us that functional democracy can be diluted as a cosequence of some controversialpolitical measures. In this study we aim at observing what has happened in these three states and towhat extent deconsolidation of democracy has been possible and especially if this process is a reversibleone. We want to understand if this democratic deconstruction can appear in young democratic states ormay appear at random, irrespective of the democratic tradition present in that state.
