| Abstract: | This article examines the determinants of the success of transitions to democracy based on a combination of qualitative comparative analysis and hierarchical clustering. This research has been conducted on a limited number of countries in Central Europe and the former Yugoslavia. The results indicate tha one can reveal configurations of several factors which jointly determine either continuous or disrupted transitions to democracy. This research has shown that successful transitions took place in relatively favourable economic circumstances. It also reveals that peace is not a sufficient condition per se for a successful transition to democracy. The conclusion is that insitutional factors of success in transition to democracy do matter. |
