Description
))( Introduction The breakdown of Communism and the sudden disintegration of USSR transformed the former "Iron Curtain" countries into seekers of systems to replace the old regime--both in economic and political terms. Using Huntington's conceptual language about the third wave of democratization, the political transition from autocracy to democracy rests on a premise that a regression to the political status quo ante is unlikely (1). As examples from the regions show up, this paradigmatic shift does not imply successful democratization. one can identify four distinct categories of the former Communist states according to their level of democratization: (l) states that democratized (the EU joiners), (2) states that returned to the former regime (Belarus), (3) states that chose a different type of an authoritarian regime than before (Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan), and (4) states that did not clearly define their course (Russia).
