The Influence Of Real Change On The Emergence Of Real Democracy In Latin America

Abstract

The research on democratization thus far, although it has provided some insights and established some correlations, has simply analyzed one factor or one group void of the effects or roles of other groups or factors in the complex process of democratization. One of the most unique characteristics of this study when compared to other studies, is its multi-faceted approach, such that many variables and their relationships to each other are researched and analyzed. This study lays a foundation from which to encourage future projects- to assimilate a more comprehensive and cohesive approach. In order to understand and possibly to facilitate democratization in other countries, it is necessary to analyze the factors that play a positive role in democracy. It is only after these factors are defined, that the process of analyzing how-to bring them about can begin.
