Democratization

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Democratization, or democratisation, is the government transition from an authoritarian government to a more democratic political direction.[1][2]

How democratization happens has also been used to explain other political events, such as whether a country goes to a war or whether its economy grows.[3]
