Abstract
After the collapse of communist regimes in Eastern Europe and the subsequent replacement of authoritarian regimes with democratic systems both there and in a number of countries in other regions of the world since the mid-1970s, Huntington (1991) postulated a “third wave” of democratization. The end of the 20th century consequently saw widespread expectation that free elections, recognition of human rights, freedom of speech, and rule of law would become commonplace around the world.
