Lecture 11: Democracy’s Fourth Wave? South Africa, Northern Ireland, and the Middle East
How do we get democracies, and how do we keep them? Prof. Ian Shapiro leads the audience through the four waves of democratization and discusses four types of democratic transitions. He then talks about the dynamics of negotiated settlements and their likelihood of success, failure and inclusiveness by using South Africa, Northern Ireland and the Middle East as examples.
