Teoretična razumevanja tranzicije k demokraciji

Abstract

Sociološka in politološka teorija stojita pred kompleksno in težko nalogo glede na to, da zaradi zelo različnih tipov tranzicij k demokraciji, nobena od obstoječih teoretičnih razlag ne more vsestransko in samozadostno razložiti pojava demokratizacije. Zato avtorja ne preseneča, da se vedno več družboslovcev spogleduje z eklekticizmom. V nadaljevanju se prispevek ukvarja z opredeljevanjem dveh glavnih konceptov - in sicer demokratične tranzicije in demokratične konsolidacije - in teoretičnimi argumenti zagovornikov naslednjih treh najbolj razširjenih razlag tranzicije k demokraciji: modernizacijsko, tranzicijsko in strukturalno. Zadnji del se posveča iskanju dobre pojasnjevalne teorije na obravnavanem področju.

Secondary title:	Theoretical Understanding of Transition Toward Democracy
Secondary abstract:	Sociological and political science theory face a complex and difficult task: arguably, none of the available theories is able to offer a coherent and self-sufficient explanation of democratisation processes due to their manifold paths. The author is thus not surprised that many scholars working in this area are turning towards eclecticism. Article further discusses two core concepts - that of democratic transition and democratic consolidation - and elaborates upon the following three key explanations of transition to democracy: modernization, transition and structural theory. The last chapter focuses on the search for a good explanatory theory in this field of social research.
